Default LS7 clutch holding power

Sorry if this has been asked, but I already did a search all I found were the part #'s for LS7 assembly and LS2 flywheel. Anybody know how much power and torque it could handle? Cammed and Sprayed F-body?

Stock C6 Z06 will dyno 455 rwhp +/- a few. LG has Dyno'ed a few with headers and such making just a nick under 500rwhp. So, the clutch is holding up good at 500rwhp N/A. Also another gentleman sprayed his new Z06 with at least a 100 shot + of nitrous. The math looks GOOD !

While I'm sure the LS7 clutch is good, I highly doubt it is stronger than a spec 3.
