Default time for a new clutch, opinions

Ok, well I went to the track last night and the first launch I had that I hooked decently the clutch started slipping.

Any suggestions on a replacement? I am currently @ about 450 rwhp and 423rwtq. I do plan on upping that # in the future to at least 500 rwhp w/ this motor.

Any suggestions on a good clutch to use for this kind of power output? I am thinking of doing the ls7 for the price but I don't want to need another clutch in a year or less.

I currently have the LS7/LS2 kit and loved it at first and for a while but now its dragging real bad and not disengaging, it also engages really high which im not too fond of. What are you running right now because I will be makin some additions to the car in the future and am looking at getting something new also?

Several of them sell the Tex's. You may want to check around on prices. Personally, I bought mine from Vengeance Racing (sponsor on here) ======>

They usually have them in stock with good pricing and fast shipping.
