Clutch for nitrous

Alright my ls6 cltuch setup has probably 30k miles on it, and im about to be adding a 150 shot of nitrous in a 4000 pound truck. I was thinking the spec 3+. The truck will have the camshaft in it by then, so its pretty much just a full bolton 5.3 with a MTI R1 cam and 150 shot of nitrous. What clutch will hold that without spending an arm and a leg. Its not a daily driver so driveability isnt a big concern. Any opinions at all on what to get would help.

I dont think the ls7 would last very long due to the weight. I've always liked ram clutches.

I'm running the LS7 in mine right now... Not very old and it already looked like **** last time I had the tranny out... I don't think it stands up to abuse as much as people think. I'd go with the 0Z. I'll be getting one soon.

Nice, you using a stock MC? Im thinking about going to a Tick MC with the clutch, but its a few months away for me still. Ive talked to those guys a couple times and they are real nice, gotta love a warranty and a military discount lol.

His clutches are pretty popular up here in DFW. They are textralia w/out the name and higher price tag from what I've been told.

I'm daily driving one and really like it and it holds the power/torque my 408 puts down so I'm sure it'll hold a 5.3 on a 150 shot.
