You got a while to go before you need to worry about a clutch. Ice made a good point though. I'd hold off on the LT headers until the clutch was repalced. Or replace the clutch when you replace the headers. There's no need in paying to have the same work done multiple times.

that stock clutch wont hold up. you should at least step up to a spec stage 2. probably should change the flywheel while your at it too if you do change the clutch. remember preventative maintenance is what keeps the car working like it should.

I guess noone read that the headers go in tomorrow. I'm not gonna hold off on the headers for a few weeks while i order a clutch when I have no idea how much more life it has.

In that case work on your suspension, traction ,etc.

Gears dont do anything for hp.........dont forget about traction. You shouldnt have any problem beating a Vette. Even though the 2006 vette will still give you a good run.

Ok. Have fun pulling the longtubes off
Stock clutches are fine for many miles, you have plenty left on it, and I wouldnt worry about it until you get the blower on. Maybe have em both done at the same time

remember, my quote said "My goal is to beat a vette" not, "have as much power as a vette".

work on traction, that will be your biggest problem after you add the supercharger and especially with 4.10 gears. you will need some drag radials and good suspension. even better suspension if you want street tires..
