Lot of ways to go, but really need to know what you are using the car for, and if you want a clutch you can slip without chatter, or more of a lock up quickly kind of thing instead.
Also, do you mind added pressure at the pedal or not.

80% street driven car ( not daily) 15% drag strip and roll racing 5% track days. I had a hawks performance sinister stage 3 in my c5z so a little extra pedal isn't a problem.

Katech has a nice clutch that will handle your power level. I have it in my car and it is a big upgrade from the OEM clutch.
Contact @Katech_Zach and he can provide details.

Mantic Twin. I went the heavy flywheel option for better stop and go traffic manners. Also no chatter and less reversion stuff if you have a big cam. Also while you are at it upgrade the master cylinder reservoir to the black one that GM came out with about 5 years ago - part of a recall.

Running a BTR stage 3 cam. I already have a Tick adjustable master so I think I am good there.

Scott,

Our LS9X clutch is an excellent choice for a street car at that power level. It drives like a 100% OEM clutch.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me 586-792-6620 Ext 222

Put a T-MOD rebuilt shifter box in at the same. This is also a much better upgrade from OEM.
