Default need a clutch

long story short version

nick williams put a ls7 in my t/a. i have an exedy twin disc clutch. it's starting to slip. it's not holding in high rpm's in 3rd or 4th. made some calls today, and apparently they were rated at 1000hp fly wheel when i bought the clutch, 1 1/2 to 2 years ago. but now are down around 550rwhp. it was ok with the ls1 set up, but not with the ls7.

seems everyone is going textrilia or spec. is there something else i should be looking into that will hold 600 rwhp? i may put a 100 shot on somewhere down the road so clutch needs to be able to support minimum of 725.

i know some of the atlanta guys are way over 725, so i was wondering what some of you were running and did you have any complaints. i also posted this in the trans. section trying to get some help, but i hate to get something like this wrong and burn up more money because i didn't ask around some.

thanks for any advice,
rob

I say go textralia. Put one in my fiance car and lauched it off of 5,000RPM on a 150 shot and never had a hick up out of it. Her car makes 600RWTQ so it held that no issue and lots of city driving on top of that

Nope just the single disk. I know of another car that lauched off of slicks and a 200 shot and never had a issue as well. It wa the single disk as well. His name on he is (Skettle)

OZ700 will hold what you are wanting to do.. If you like a lil more aggressive feel and more power holding capability go with the Exo Skel twin disc...
