Default LS7 clutch opinions?

Here is my situation. I sold my original motor and built a mild heads and cam LS6 that should make about 420 at the wheels.

I was planning on reusing the textralia that i had but the pads are pretty worn and there are some decent sized grooves in both the flywheel and pressure plate.

I drive the car pretty hard sometimes (only on the street) but it is mostly just a cruiser. Do you guys think the LS7 clutch will be a good option for me? I want a smooth engaging clutch with no chatter if possible and i just figured an OEM clutch would do what i want. The textralia would chatter pretty bad sometimes.

If you get them on sale a Monster or Diamond stage 1 is much better and not a whole lot more money than the LS7. I have a Diamond stage 2 with LW flywheel and it drives very close to stock....no chatter at all. Mine was around $90 more than the LS7 while both were on sale, and the stage 1 will be a little cheaper.
