Spec 3+ here as well, it seems decent for street and track. I like the price too.

LS7 clutch held for me fine with a full bolt on car, then + cam.

Still holding. Just need to have the hydraulics set correctly.

That's what I'm running, and I love it. Handles like stock, but rated to hold over 500hp. I've never hit the track with it though, so I won't speculate on how well it does there.

ive heard that the ls7's are good for street duty and some strip but not alot of strip action. my car comes out when its raced thats about it pretty much. plus im over 500 to the wheels now so i think id be better going with one of the 3 i mentioned in the poll. i was looking into the ls7 before the car got too extreme...

I have an OZ700 Z Grip Textralia. Holds anything I can throw at it and feels like stock. I pulled it out to inspect it and was not real happy with the way it looked. After a couple of emails to Textralia, including pics of the clutch, they replaced it...

Tex OZ700 Z-grip here, as well. Top notch. If you want a hard launch kind of clutch, or are FI or N20, go with the Z-grip. If you want a slightly more street friendly clutch (more accepting of a little slippage), go with the X-grip.
