Just a tip for the 4th gen guys. I'm pretty happy with my Textralia oz700.
I bought my SS new with 300 miles and the factory clutch would slip from a full throttle 2-3 shift. I had a new Z06 clutch installed as an upgrade under warranty. It was better, but when I put sticky tires on, I smoked it at BIR. It worked ok even afterwards, but I decided to learn how to change it myself and put in another Z06 clutch. They warranted the part and I supplied the labor.
I got tired of it and installed a Clutchmasters kevlar setup, but it vibrated so bad after the install, I was disappointed to say the least. I tried giving it time to break-in and it got a little better, but I ended up damaging the shifter fork trying to full throttle shift with it. I took it out and found out it was a bad pressure plate (only half of it had wear). I returned it with a diplomatic letter and they actually refunded $800.
I then installed the Spec 3 and really liked it. Could full throttle shift it and it's the clutch I was running at Union Grove when I ran the 11.8's in the video over at multimedia. The following spring, I went to Memphis and the spec 3 wouldnt grab. I did a lot of research and went with the Textralia. Installed it and it wouldn't go into gear. I found out that the disc 11 7/8 was hitting the arp bolts/washers they had supplied with the kit. They sent me a complete setup 11.5 and that's what I'm running to this day. Not a lot of pedal pressure, chatter is pretty much non existant and full throttle shifts are there again.
I also had earlier upgraded to the 2002 master cyl and did the "drill mod". The drill mod takes the restriction out of the line to let the fluid recover faster and allows the clutch to hit harder.
