base the clutch off of how much torque you plan to make. the monster stage 1 can handle 450tq at the wheels and the stage 2 550. both are great quality and have been proven to take those levels of power without issue

An aluminum flywheel is a very poor choice for a street car. I took mine out after 2 months and reinstalled the stock flywheel. I hated it, surging/stalling/trans gear rattle when idling with the clutch engaged.

LS6 stock cast is 24lbs. I replaced it with a Centerforce clutch and Fidanza flywheel, then ironically a Spec Stage 2 no lie. The aluminum flywheel's 13lb weight wasn't an issue combined with the total weight of the clutch being 42lbs, but that the steel insert would warp with heat and cause disengagement issues as well as slippage from surfaces not being mated parallel which just compounded the issue. The clutch I then switched to is in my signature below and uses a Billet 18lb flywheel, let me know if you have any questions.
