How do you think this LS7 clutch would hold up to 450 rwhp/tq?
its going to wear a little faster in a f body because our cars are heavier than the Zo6, but other than that I think it would hold 450 rwhp pretty well... that is what I am going to put in once I get procharged

As for gm spending research and all that crap they put the 7.5 10 bolt in our fourth gens,they put in the optispark in the lt1..they have the worst power window motors I have ever seen,etc.
The proof of the ls7 is going to be how they live after some hard use.I dont' see them as standing up to constant track abuse but maybe they can take some occasional track and some decent hard off track use.
I am still torn between the textralia or the ls7 for my twin turbo car.
I don't plan on barely any track use ,the car will be 99% street on nittos.
I was going tex but saw that post with guy that has gone thru like three of them.
That don't inspire me with confidence in the tex.
The ls7 is still pretty new and won't really know how they stand up likely for a few more months.maybe end of this season depending on how many guys running them start killing them on track or off.
I really wanted to get a new clutch in my car sooner but on the other hand if can figure out my hydrualic issues my current cartech clutch might be fine for quite awhile.

Thinking of trying an LS7 myself. My stock LS6 doesn't slip but the pedal just isn't consistent anymore. Sometimes its great, other times it feels terrible. Just random. Hopefully the LS7 would cure that.

As far as the 10 bolt, it worked just fine for stock powered cars. Which is all GM cares about. Would have been nice if they continued using the 9 bolt rear in the 3rd gen...MUCH stronger. Also, the opti was a great idea just in the wrong spot.
