Default How much power can the LS6 clutch take?

How much power can this clutch handle? Anyone running slicks or drag radials with the ls6 clutch? In the future i'm planning on 450rwhp car, running DR's and maybe 20 passes a year at the strip. Do you think this clutch will last?

I'd say somewhere around 50. I replaced it with a Spec when I had it apart for a gear change. It was beat up looking, but it never failed to hold.

Nice, I was also lucky enough to have a stocker that help up to 540ft lbs. Most arent so lucky though.
