In your opinion, will a Z06 clutch hold up to what I will be doing?
My car has all the boltons right now, and this month I will be going to a TNT power ring setup (100 hp jets at first) and also adding a 233/239 @ 114 TSP cam and a Moser 9"... I am skeptical about aftermarket clutches (Spec) from reading all the horror stories on here about them, and I have beaten the **** out of my stock clutch which has 51k on it right now and is just starting to slip.
I know that the Z06 is supposed to be rated to 540tq , and I guess I will be right about there using the 150 hp jets on the TNT kit.
I will also be running MT et streets.
I did use the search button, but I am looking for opinions on whether a Z06 clutch is adequite for my setup.
Did I mention that I can get an OEM Z06 clutch + new flywheel, pressure plate and throwout bearing brand new for 368 + tax total?

I would say no. I broke the ring on the dampner springs on the clutch disk on 3 different ones with just a 100hp TNT f1 kit and thats on bfg dr's. I admit I drive my cars hard but I still dont think it will hold up. I put a cartek in and its doing fine after 2 yrs and 2 transmissions, 1 ds, 1 tq arm. So you know where I would go, but Iam looking at something else just to see whats out there.
