Default NEED Clutch Advice/help

I need some input on what clutch & slave to get.(Killed mine this weekend) Where to get it & Does it require shims? 02 ProCharged a bit below 600HP, street car but also sees track time, Drag & autocross. Also what other clutch components to upgrade while at it (slave & master) would like to stay below $1700 total for parts if possible. A few options & where to purchase would be nice. Probably going to have a shop install main components this time. I tried searching threads w/no luck. Also any input on ECS Torque Tamer, & or any thing else that should be added or replaced while tore down ( Couplers, Bearings, Tranny Brace, ect.? ) Thanks for your time & input/help.

While your are changing the clutch, the pfadt mounts and a diff brace wouldn't be a bad idea if u can swing it, so u don't have to do the work twice!!

I've been using the monster stage 3 clutch @ 461 rwhp and it hooks good, affordable and can be upgraded!

I don't own a vette but the Mcleod RXT has been a great clutch. Before I purchased it, I did a lot of research and heard nothing but great things from guys using it in fbodies, vettes and mustangs of all power levels.
