Default Found the LS7 Clutch Limit

well ive had my clutch for a while, used it on street tires on the street and track, no problems, i have a set on mt et streets now the bias plys and i was launching around 4k and it would hook and bog, next time to the track i went up on the rpms and was dumping it at 45-5000 and geting low 1.8s and high 1.7s. i thought i could get it lower so to day on my 1st pas 6000 and dumped it well it slipped.

Not too bad for a stock clutch. I'm actually impressed it held at a 5k dump on some stickies.
