Mine held 480whp/442wtq with numerous runs down the dragstrip on DR's like a champ. The car also had 17.5k miles on it so she didn't sit around like most.

Pretty sure the clutch has been the same P/N as the Z06 clutch since late model year 2007..Since most of the Z06 dyno between 450-480rwhp, you are safe with bolt ons + mild cam..

I'm about to find out. I have about 470rwhp and 7300 miles...clean/flush the fluid all the time and it still sticks to the floor on 2nd - 3rd shifts at the redline. Tomorrow the dealer gets it to take a look. Vengeance thinks I've possibly hot spotted the disk and PP and it will need to be replace. That would suck as I dont even beat on the damn thing that much.

670 here too. I don't pound on too much, but it does get driven hard on occasion. 20K miles total. First 6K stock, next 8k 465rwhp via cam and bolt ons. For last 6K, it's been at 672 via TVS.
