Default clutchy time!

hey guys! I have been fighting with a sticking clutch pedal for a while now.... i started out by wrapping the line, then replacing the master cylinder, and then the drill mod. so i know it's time for the slave cylinder. damn! my clutch doesn't slip at all but i figure it's pointless to pull the tranny without replacing the clutch.(80,000 miles on the clock) money is pretty tight right now so i have been really considering the ls7 clutch kit. My car is cam only at the moment but i have a nos plate setup that i want to through on it.(no more than a 100 shot) I guess what i am getting at is... how much holding power does the ls7 clutch offer? i know at least 505hp I have done alot of searching but just wanted some new input. also.... would i be okay to just go with a stock replacement slave? Thanks in advance guys!

I liked my LS7 clutch... It holds 505 Hp, but remember the Z06 is also lighter... our F bodies are heavier...

But the only bad thing I heard is, it doesnt like being launched above 4000rpms, because it will glaze over...

I know with 364rwhp, I made dozen clutch dumps at 5500rpms on slicks and it pulled fine..

Now Im making more Hp and I shift higher, so Im having issues, I just got the adjustable master and wrapped line and Im hoping itll make it all well...

+1 on the above post. Mine glazed over at the track with a stickey tire and a 4000rpm launch too. Granted Iam making 500rwhp and 570 rwtq, but it will work nice if you get a Tick master, and a new slave. The Z06 has hydraulics are designed for that clutch and the 10 year old f-body stuff just isnt up too the task of operating that big ol heavy clutch setup.
