Default Clutch Recommendations LS

Hey All, so i need to upgrade my clutch in my 2nd gen (LS with T-56 magnum).

Horsepower current resides at 425 ish, going heads n cam soon and the combo and intake will take me too 540 ish (at the crank).

80% touring, 10% track, 10% coning.

It is currently an LS1 Luk clutch (i believe an OEM)

Symptoms currently, down the front stretch at thunder hill, hit about 125 mph (6500 rpm for about 25 seconds) brake hard and enter the turn at 90 ish, out of the turn the clutch slips (badly) but comes back about 30 seconds later (around turn 4). It did it once in my third track session and not again that session. 4th session, 3rd lap did it, and 4th lap did it, then i drove it into the pits. it did come back, and loaded up on the trailer with no slippage (well nothing major).

So, too much info on LS1tech, my head is spinning.

I'm thinking the Monsterclutch spec 2 with the lighten'd flywheel. Centerforce (not sure which one). Or the stock LS7 one.
I've read many of the aftermarket ones don't last long, i am looking for reliability and performance. So, all ears/eyes at this point, thanx, Mike....

Since you plan mostly street driving, I would use the LS7 clutch. Once you head down the performance clutch path you start to give up some street manners.
