Clutch is probably toast. Look into an LS7/LS2 clutch/flywheel combo or if your really going to be beating on it look at the TEX line of clutches.

Well when mine stuttered and bucked after my LT install, it was a burnt O2 wire. It was too close to the headers and the metal melted through the wiring. I replaced it and wrapped it in heat wrap, works fine now. So check your O2's

Is it throwing any codes?

Could be a misfire....

I say all this b/c i've encountered both of these problems and the symptoms were much like yours.
