I'm in the middle of finding a new clutch myself then I'm sure a rear end shortly to follow. I'm not sure what to do after that ... naturally aspirated or not

For reference, a stock LS1 or LS6 clutch will produce 150-200 drag strip burnouts (damp tires) and launches and still be adequate for normal driving. Properly maintained at near-stock power levels, the clutch should 100K miles or so.
