a ls6 clutch will do fine
Until it doesn't..... Just sayin', many LS6 clutches have failed at even stock HP level. Mine went south at about 450, but over the years, I've read dozens of threads of LS6 failure. I wouldn't spend good money on a bad clutch. LS7, at least. You have the aluminum FW option.

Having used both clutches, albeit different applications, the LS6 clutch is more friendly at the dragstrip.
