i am looking into this clutch as well, a stock c6 z06 puts down 460ish rwhp with this clutch so i think you wont have any problems.

It has held quite nice on my car, heads, cam, N20, 538 at the wheels on the juice and it is still holding. Granted I never spray it on the street, nor run the car at the track lol.--Tony

Held well on my cammed z28 and held well on my best friends h/c (prc 5.3's 228 cam). Only thing I would suggest is getting the aluminum flywheel as the stock ls2 flywheel that I ran was heavy as hell.

It's holding on my heads/cam(5.3/MS3) car. I also agree with getting an aluminum flywheel. The shipping weight on mine from SDPC was 63lbs with the LS2 flywheel

Dyno queen probably. Running it on a dyno is easy on the clutch too.

Your are going to be just fine. I would imagine that these can hold well over 500 rwhp, as that is not too far off what the Z06 can put down with a set of longtubes.
