Time to think about getting a new clutch...

Clutch engagement is getting really high.

I'm considering putting another ZL1 clutch in it, but i'm not 100% sure yet.
car has 26k miles on it, i would say the clutch has about another month or two left in it. I noticed it felt like it was starting to slip above 5k rpm last fall.

almost none. one trackday, one trip to the drag strip. I didnt attend a track day i paid for 2 weeks ago because of it. There is no way it would have made it through the day.

Ive always been hard on clutches; I've heel - toed every corner in my entire life. It's probrably toast because of all the engine braking.

I am the same RWHP as you and I am going with McLeod RST setup. It is a little more expensive than stock but it is rated for 800HP. I am starting to slip at full throttle in 4th and 5th gears. I have been babying it while I wait for the parts to come in. I have 50K miles.

For the money you really can't beat the stock clutch.

But seeing as you are hard on the clutch due to your driving habits a aftermarket one may suit you better.
