Default Who sprays on a LS7 clutch?

As the title says. Who does it with success? How much you spraying and what times are you running? 60'? 1/8 mile? 1/4 mile?

My friend sprayed a 100 shot for a few years on the stock clutch on his LS1 with no issues. It's all in how you drive it

Hey! I know you! Yeah I'm gonna give it hell till it gives up. Might as well. What's the sense in taking out a clutch that's working still. Gonna run it till it slips. The first hit of spray will probably be on the dyno. I'm gonna have my tuner check everything out before I run it at the track. I've got all the necessary electronics to do it right and safe.

A progressive will help a lot from what I'm seeing. I'll probably end up getting one to keep my stock bottom end alive. My buddy is insisting that I'm gonna blow the bottom end apart and burn right through the clutch all this upcoming season. To prove my point, I've got to make sure that doesn't happen. He keeps telling me to forget about nitrous and put a single turbo kit on it.

Sounds like a solid plan to me

I haven't researched that yet. I know nitrous express makes the maximizer 4 controller. I was gonna start there. But, I'm open to suggestions myself.

Don't slip the clutch at all and it should be fine. I hit my ls6 clutch with probably 10 bottles on a 100 shot. Aside from it sticking to the floor, it was great lol.

That was with just shy of 500who.

I'm on the stuck clutch in my 5th gen making 636wtq and no issues so far. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the clutch is the same or similar to an LS7 clutch.
