ive never used one in the 7 but i have used them a couple times in different supra's ive built. they seem'd ok to me, i didnt really notice anything bad or great about them. i had a stage 3 in my turbo supra and it engaged quick and grabbed hard, it had a little chatter but not too bad, i did eat it tho when i went past 400hp. ive put a stage 2 full face in an na supra and it was just a little grabbier than stock and is still working for the new owner at stock power level.

to the op, i think id go with a little more of a hardcore clutch if you going for that power level. 120 seems a little cheap for a clutch that would last. i doubt you want to pull the trans all the time to replace clutches. i like to to buy clutches that are rated 100+ hp over what power im gunna run, maybe im just hard on my clutch's tho

and remember the main rule of car building (cheap, fast, reliable pick 2 of the 3)
