Default OEM or Aftermarket clutch

Can anyone give me their opinion on a good clutch. I am putting an LS7 into my project and it came with the factory GM clutch. I'll be runnning 3.42's with 295/35/18 tires through a Manual T-56 'vette Transaxle. 80% Street/10% Track/10% Strip.

Personally, I'd stick with the OEM LS7 clutch. They hold up pretty well and feel good. Another good one is the McLeod street twin.

Thanks for tyhe input! The guys over at LS1.tech seem to like the Textralia. They say it runs well on the street and performs at the track. Any experiences?

Default That is what I am running (tex)

I will let you know in about 1 month.

If you are not upgrading the motor I would stay with the GM LS7 clutch that came with it.
