Textralia Z Grip Is In Replaced my stock LS6 and got the Z grip last night 
Wow what a difference! engagement is perfect, prolly engages about 1.25" off the floor....
Has very little chatter to it.. And the pedal is prolly like 5 times firmer than stock.. Feels real good.
I only have about 50 miles on it, only going up to 3k RPMs.. nothing more than that. going to break it in.. i hope i can put 500 miles on it this year. i have only put on 500 miles on my car this season alone, i never drive my car anymore..
But you can feel that it has more holding power than stock that is for sure.

I'm going to give you a bit of advice. For your "break-in" period, do the following:
1) Take your car out to a long, straight, deserted stretch of road.
2) Come to a complete stop.
3) Rev it up to where you normally launch hard.
4) Launch hard.
5) Proceed to beat the hell out of it for the rest of the night.
6) Go home and consider your clutch "broken in".
These clutches do not require a "break in" period; that is one of the benefits of it and that is how Textralia advertises it. Drive it long enough to make sure that nothing went wrong with the install, etc, and then drive it like you normally would.
And I love mine. The lightest pedal feel I've had with any aftermarket clutch and lighter than my dad's stocker in his 04 GTO, holds my 5500 RPM launches at the track without issue in a 400rwhp car, and the slight bit of chatter you mentioned went away on mine and my friend's after about 100 miles of regular driving and racing.

are you serious? I always thought that you needed a break in period with this clutch? I will take the car out tomorrow and try that
hopefully i do not snap my stock 10 bolt 
I can not wait to see what this clutch will do for me at the track.... with my stock slipping cluth and my cam, i ran a 13.0 @ 116 mph
