LS6 clutch kit + slave cylinder / thow out bearing install
The clutch on my 2000 Z28 is slipping badly. It's the original clutch with 106k miles on it. I plan to install the following components:
12570806 - LS6 Clutch Kit With Pressure Plate, Disc & Flywheel
24264182 - Slave Cylinder / throw out bearing assembly
Questions:
1. Is it advisable to replace the Master cylinder also or is the stock 2000 one good enough?
2. Can original (106k mile) flywheel just be resurfaced, or do those typically wear enough that it would warrant just being replaced?
3. Any other parts needed to complete this job (other than clutch and trans fluid)?
Any input would be appreciated!

The stock master will require replacement

The OEM master cylinder has trouble shifting at high RPMs. If you're just daily driving the car you'd probably be ok with a drill mod on the stock unit, but IMO the tick unit is one of my favorite mods, it completely changes the car. Also do a remote bleeder, you'll thank yourself later.

What black said. I went through several stock masters. Including two 02's. Then I sprung for a tick. The F body clutch hydraulics were hamstrung to protect the Barbie 10-bolt from the LS1/T56 one-two punch. As long as everything is brand new it's ok for a while, but that's about it.

If the flywheel isn't warped or damaged, you should be able to have it resurfaced to flat. You should do this any time you replace the clutch and make sure that it's being resurfaced on a qualified flywheel grinding machine rather than a lathe or blanchard grinder or a handheld electric or pneumatic grinder (Yes, people try that).

Part numbers if you want to look up pricing on any sites:
LS1/LS6 flywheels:
700142 (Steel, 29.7 lbs.)
900142 (Aluminum, 13.1 lbs.)
DYAD:
04614842
I can get part numbers for the LS6 Dual Friction, DFX, and LMC clutches (Click here to see applications/characteristics for them) if you want them. We have 12" (for forced induction and nitrous) and 11" (for NA) clutch discs/pressure plate setups.

don't waste your time on an OEM master for the fbody.

I get that there is a sycophantic following for the $325+ Tick, but the stock master doesn't need to be replaced. Especially from the sounds of this not being a heavily beat on or frequently drag raced car.
You can get an entire LS7 clutch setup including slave, pilot bearing and rear main cover for under $470 from the right place with the right p/ns if you are interested. All you'll need to add from elsewhere is 6 of those flywheel bolts you already listed.

After three GM master replacements in 12 months - and the PITA that is hitting those firewall holes - I had no problem forking out for the tick to NEVER have to worry about it again.
Call me sycophantic all you want, but my own personal experience made me a fan of tick.

Is GM part # 12570806 (LS6 Clutch kit) identical to LUK 04-905? I've seen conflicting information on this, so just want to try to understand that. Preferably anyone that's installed this LUK part, it would be good to hear firsthand that it is in fact the same. I believe LUK was the OEM supplier for clutches so my guess is it's the same.
LUK 04-905 is about $100 cheaper than GM 12570806 and the LUK kit also includes an alignment tool, throwout bearing (but not slave), and flywheel bolts.

Others have said that as well (hence my question), but on LUK's site, they list LUK 04-216 as the clutch for '06+ Z06 (LS7).
