Default quick clutch question

The engine/trans I have came with a centerforce clutch and I am debating if I should continue to use it. This will be a DD and shouldn't see much more than stock HP. Maybe a cam and heads down the road...but I don't foresee going to crazy.

So my ideas are..
keep the center force
go ls7
go with a stock ls1 clutch (99 camaro)

Which would be the best route? If you all suggest ditching the center force where is the best place to buy. New flywheel or no?

Here are a couple pictures of the current state of the centerforce and flywheel
burnt at the bottom of the flywheel?

If you're going to do a h/c setup later get a clutch that will hold it now. I would recommend a Monster Level 2 or 3 depending on your driving habits, etc. Give us a call and we'll get you taken care of!

Since you have everything apart, and you have plans for greater output in the future...you may as well address the clutch now. Take a look at our link below. There you can find the full list of single-disc clutches and flywheel for this application. Our Stage 1 or 2 would be a great option: providing greater capacity and good daily driver manners.
