For your 346ci and the amount of power your making, the ls7 would be your best bet.

It will last you a while.

You need at least a double disk, but I'd prefer a triple disk at your power level!

lol!

The LS7 clutch and LS2 flywheel combo is pretty good. I have it in mine and it's held up pretty well. I've seen some other people run it in H/C/I/N02 (LS1) cars and it holds up as well.

Pedal is real soft as well.

you have to release the clutch when you put it in gear.

Does it always do this? You could try bleeding it and doing a dot4 fluid swap (just uses brake fluid). Also the drill mod for the master cylinder helps (google it). If these don't fix it just get a new master. If that doesn't fix it then the slave is bad, which is a pita to change (might as well change the clutch while you're in there b/c it sits in the bell housing).
