I would assume the clutch could handle about 350-360 hp. The Zo6 has about that much hp. I have this clutch in my car but i dont have 360 hp yet.

Which clutch are you talking about, the LS7 or the older Z06 clutch?? The LS7 will hold 450-500 RWHP

I ran the ls6 one, imo the factory ls6s dynoed at ~350 rwhp, so factor in a performance buffer from the factory, and it should be able to safely handle close to 400 rwhp. Just don't expect to drag race with it.

LS6 clutches are probably only good too 400 rwhp. after that your gonna get some nice "heat areas" etc. on the disc.

I would get a nice Ram, or a spec 3(love my, a little notchy though.)

I would advise not to get the LS6 clutch unless you are only using it for daily driving. My Z06 clutch started slipping the first time down the track with only 800 easy miles on it and I had street tires on it. I don't believe I have 350hp either. Don't know never been dynoed.

When you guys are saying Z06 clutch, please specify LS1 Z06, LS6 Z06, or LS7 Z06!!!

no such thing as a LS1 Z06.

They either had the LS6 Z06 or the LS7 Z06

I have had good luck with the LS6 Z06 clutch.
Im very near to 400 rwhp.
Also i beat the hell out of it (Street Only With Street Tires)
I don't think it would hold up on the track with some sticky through.

i made the numbers in my sig and bone stock im sure it was around 310 and 330 and i have 90k on my stock LS6 and it is starting to slip without being hard on it. but for the past 15k miles, whenever i do highway runs and stuff, the hydraulics will take a **** and the engaugement will be just off the floor.

My car has over 400whp and at 48k the factory clutch started slipping. I replaced it with a Textralia and couldnt be happier but the factory one did good considering the power. It also depends on how hard you are on it. If you go to the track regularly I wouldnt recomend the LS6 clutch.
