What have you done in the past? I may be looking for a lube tech/general service guy for the shop soon. Trying to get another kid out of there that keeps messing up.

I need some advice on what a good clutch would be for my car. im not sure what clutch is in it now but it isnt holding the power anymore, it slips when i get on it especially on the top end thats when its really apparent. The car is putting down just under 400rwhp so i need something that can hold that with no problem. I am starting to look into the spec 3 and the monster 2 or 3. If you guys have any advice that would be very helpful.

The best option for you is the LS7 clutch. Feels like stock, holds 450-500hp.

Once you start getting north of 500hp you'll want to look into a mcleoud or textrailia.

Do you know who would have a decent price on a ls7 clutch kit. And are those known to last a good amount of time?

I agree that the LS7 is a good option for you at your power level. When looking for the clutch you need to also get the LS2/LS7 flywheel. Scoggin Dickey usually has a good price on them or every once in a while one will come up locally. There were 2 for sale on craigslist recently.
