Ive got a RAMHD ready to go in once I pick up all the tranny parts. I hear they're solid clutches, good pedal feel (not too heavy) and they hold up well to anything south of 600whp.

One of my friends has been spraying a 150shot on top of 400rwhp in his TA, with 315 Nitto DR's for over a year and its still holding. 3000-3500 clutch dumps and sometimes on nitrous too. It's only been on the street though, no track runs. He's also on the stock 80,000 10 bolt too, so maybe he's just extremely lucky

Ls7 clutch is junk for spraying. Even the C6 Zo6 guys stock think it's junk. Go to corvetteforum in the C6 Z06 section for insight-top drivers all say it's the weak link even on stock 425rwhp cars. Textralia is the way to go, imo.

I sprayed the 150 shot for the first time after installing a textralia oz700. The results are below. And I only sprayed it 3 times on a NA tune.

Can't wait to see how it holds now.
