Default Which Textralia is right for me?

I have an 01 WS6 STS t-67 with FMIC, I want to keep in mind I will be doing heads and cams, Im at the 500 mark now and will be shooting for 550-575 to the wheels with the heads and cam. Which Textralia would you go with to hold down the power? Also this is a mainly street driven vehicle, but I want something to last.

I would ask Tex. The Z-grip is made for the nitrous or FI cars, and especially made to hold well at the track, so in that regard it sounds like the one for you. The X-grip is designed to handle a little more slip and be more street friendly, so in that regard, that's the one for you to go with. It looks like you'll end up with the Z-grip, though, strictly because of the power you're putting out.

I'm trying to decide between the x and z-grip myself. If i'm reading this right, I should only go with the z-grip if i'm doing nitrous, turbo or s/c? Other than that I need to go with the x-grip?

I'd get the Exo-Skel. But I am a little biased on that matter.........

Any Z-grip guys with slicks at the track?? Just curious did you dump the clutch or slip the clutch. Right now I have a stock ls6 clutch and it loves to be dumped. I drove a centerforce df clutch with m/t drag radials (friends car) and that car liked to be slipped. Just want to get an idea of whats ahead of me.
