Yup, looking forward to reply's to your post as well, because someday I will have to replace the 'original' factory clutch in my 99' with 147,000 miles on it, knock on wood !! 
I think it what keeps me in check from getting serious about making more HP, lol !!

clutch help
Hey. So i have a head/cam nitrous c5 making 410hp/400tqrw and will be installing the nitrous outlet plate kit with 200-250jet. I have gone through 2 stg3 minster clutches in the last 2 years because i drive it year round and now my wife drives it as well. I get stuck in heavy rush hour atleast 3x a week and am forced to slip to creep with traffic. this clutch is not working for me and my driving needs so im in search of advise as to how to prolonge the life of the next on if i get another or what other clutches do you guys go with that can handle 600+wtq.. please only comment if you have experience with the clutch your talking about. Thanks!

I am no expert, so I am just going to throw out my two cents.
I am going to guess you can't have it both ways...extreme performance and daily urban commute driving, you may have to make some compromise and use what would seem to be a "weaker" clutch to get more life out of it because it is designed more for "slipping" and more normal driving conditions... just thinking out loud. Maybe the experts can give some credence to my theory or help me see the light, either way I'm open to learning more and will be watching this thread. Good luck

Haha. Good stuff!
I wanted to try the ls7 clutch because i keep hearing it holds alot of power but mechanics tell me it wont hold that kind of a jet.. ive been looking at twin disc clutches but have no exp with them or know anyone with them.
