Default Clutch advice

I have an 08 C6 with the stock clutch that although it doesn't seem to be slipping, the engagement is almost at the very top. I have 111,000 miles on it with lots of track days and 1/4 passes. I want to replace it with a good quality (although I can't complain about the stock one with the mileage and use it's seen) and affordable clutch that can handle Z06 HP numbers. Recommendations?

Also, should I go with a lightweight flywheel also?

Thanks

You can't go wrong with a Mantic.

There are some great aftermarket brands out there. But Jason at Katech has the LS9R and X models which you may want to look into.
