Default How much horsepower can the LS7 hold?

Who here has safely used an LS7 clutch with over 500 rwhp? I am not talking dropping the clutch at 7000 rpm's at the track but some good street abuse?? Thanks for the input.

I've had mine in for 3 weeks now and I have put a little stuff on mine, mostly highway stuff like dropping into 3rd from 6th at 60 with the Nitrous armed and a good warm bottle pushing 1100 psi, with the 150 jets in. It will slap 120 like NO BIG DEAL MAN!!!!

I dumped mine from 4700 on Sunday, held well, definately doesnt like heat, could not get the car into gear for anything. At the end of the track, the pedal woudl grab right off the floor, and I mean BARELY off the floor. It was pitiful. On the street, it grabs half way no problem. After a few good runs, it does start to catch closer to the floor.

With that being said, no issues with slipping or holding the power at all so far.
