Default New clutch(kit) search

I'm looking for recommendations for a new clutch for my 2012 C6 Base.
I'm at 500bhp ish/ 427 at the wheels. Max torque is 451.

Currently looking at McLeod part number 6405507. A little over kill I know but their reviews are very good.
I've sent them a message inquiring about a single disc option.
When I enter my vehicle info they don't give one. Obviously OEM is an option...but I want to stay away from that.
Realistically I am not going to do anymore mods so where I'm at with bhp is where it will probably stay.

Has anyone here replaced there clutch? What did you use? Are you satisfied? Would you change anything?

Thank you in advance...
Mike

I put a Monster LT1-S twin disc in my GS about 5 years ago when I also added an Eforce. It is rated for 700hp. It is a good option for a stock feeling clutch as it is a stock C7 clutch but with a proper flywheel to make it work with a C6. Holds great and required no breakin since it is an organic clutch. Just installed and let it rip.

Seems like an OEM LS7 clutch would be just right.

Were these cars are such a pain in the rear ,to change the clutch
I believe I would go with a twin disc,if you’re planning on abusing it
spending a little more money now might save you some money in the long run
