Default Plans for an 03 Z06

So I just bought an 03Z and I have plans to eventually get an AA supercharger kit but I would like to get a level 5 transmission from RPM and also get a new clutch. Would an ls6 clutch hold up? I don't want too much clutch in it and from what I understand I'll be putting down about 550 after everything is said and done with the supercharger. Any ideas, thoughts, or input would appreciated.

You are going to have to go beyond a stock LS/6 clutch.
If I were in the market today, I believe I'd go with the
(East Coast Supercharging) ECS Manic.

Good idea of beefing up the rear.
Have the torque tube checked out for worn rubber.
Maybe a clutch remote bleeder.
ECS tranny/Diff brace.
New clutch M/Cyl.

Why would you recommend that charger setup over the AA? Also any certain clutch you'd suggest?

Sorry to confuse you.

I wasn't reccomending or trying to sway you away from an A&A kit.

My post was in regards to your clutch/differential change out.
ECS was mentioned in regards to their Manic clutch package.
The manic clutch kit is shown & discussed on their site, along w/pricing.

Also suggested/mentioned to use an ECS tranny/differential brace to help keep the cases from twisting & cracking/braking.
