Default best clutch for nitrous

my z28 is stock, and i will soon be adding a 125 shot. i am looking for a clutch that will last a long time and hold the power. the ls7 looked good to me, but is there anything cheaper that will hold together?

Textralia here also, and well over 160/175 passes and still going strong. whats nice is the easy pedal pressure compasred to some. takes a beating and still performs flawlessly. You can do about 8 hard back to back passes before the clutch wants a break for cool down, then it's ready to do battle again. The ls7 clutch is not bad for a stock hp car, but a higher hp car, even the new C6 Z06, they will slip on ya.

wheres the best deal on textralia clutches?
can you use the stock master cylinder?
and what part# is the clutch?

also, the textralia seems a bit expensive...
what are your opinions on the RAM clutches?
which model would you guys go with if you would go with that one at all?

very smooth engagement, very close to stock if not just like stock
pedal pressure is more than acceptable for a daily driver

i had a Spec 3 in the car before this and it held like a Gorrilla but was a little aggravating for a daily driver, just on taking off from a dead stop though
pedal pressure was a little stiffer than my Ram
