Your best bet should be the Textralia....My buddy has it in his and he says that it hooks hard on hard launches but is extremely drivable....
I am going with the same clutch as well....

Had um all and just installed my Textralia. By far the best clutch I've ever had so far. No chatter.... no shifter vibration that I had with the others and smooth as hell.

Would the ls7 setup be up to 450 rwhp and more importantly about 410 rwtq for long? It would be in a vehicle that weighs maybe 2700 lbs with driver and would have a 3.9 rear gear. If not what would you reccomend as the most cost effective setup?

My guess would be yes...seeing how the Z06 w/LS7 makes about 530hp at the crank, if you believe some of the stories...

I figured that would be the case. And is why I am looking at using the above on my setup... unless I find a really good deal on something aftermarket.
