I need a new clutch durable enough about 400 ft lbs. Hey Im new to this post and i just bought my 95 LT1 on December 27. It has 129 k miles and after i put about 400 miles on it the clutch has went out, out out. I love this car and want to drive it really bad but I can't cuz I ran the car until the clutch was pretty much totally burnt out. 
I want to put another clutch on it PDQ (pre damn quick), but i want to make sure it is goin to last. After i pamper it for about a month and make sure i know how to drive my car i plan on racing it. It has an after market ram air hood and a K&N filter and a cut out. Im quessing around 315 hp and 400 ft lbs of torque max. I would probably lay down 4 or 5 hundred on a clutch to make sure its gonna last if thats what it needs. Hopefully i can get one for cheaper than that that is durable enough for about 450 ft lbs of torque? I think that would get the job done? Someone plz help me im dieing seeing my sexy car with a 30 day tag just sit in the driveway. THANX!!!!!!!!!!!!

ya i really doubt it has that much power. I just need to get it dynoed. but if i had around 320 ft lbs. and a spec stage 1 can handle 400, then should i just go with that, or is it a good idea to have extra durability.
