clutch opinions
clutch opinions im about to do an H/C package shooting for 470rwhp, however, i'm retaining my stock ls1 clutch in my '02 C5. will this clutch hold up for daily driving and the occasional highway spirited blasts?
i go to the track maybe once a month, but there won't be any 1.6 60fts or anything like that. maybe 2.2-2.3 60fts on the stock clutch with this setup....

So a better clutch will be needed at some point. Ditto with strengthening the rear end if you plan to be doing launches.

Cartek's new level 7 clutch will work fine for what you want. I used one last year and had over 75 Drag passes on it coming off the line between 5k and 6k RPM. It held up pretty well all things considered. I was pushing about 443 RWHP at the time. 
spend the $$ and get a McLeod twin disc w/master cyl., you dont want to be changing the clutch often since its such a bi%&h of a job on the vette, I've been running one for a while now and it holds 5k dumps at the track like cake, you can hot lap the **** out of it too, it can handle any amount of power your throwing at it and will ALLWAYS grab.. one less headache for sure, my vote for McLeod...
