Do you drive the car on the street any or is it just a track car? Also is it making 575 with a supercharger or nitrous?

My car makes that with NOS and I drive it on the street with a Tremec , the only way to go.
TKO 600 will go right in your car and will be a blast to drive on the street, you need the pedals under the dash, bullet-proof bellhousing (575 hp enough reason) for a Tremec, clutch cable, shifter, no mention of year so may have to modify crossmember. If you by the trans new make sure to ask about the output spline, depending the one you want may have to change yoke.

Spec makes a goodclutch (http://www.specclutch.com/) and generally have them in stock. Flywheel, if you are running a 351/stroked 351 go withsteel, if you have a 347 go with aluminum flywheel.

Spec 3+ clutch setup....c4 is an 26 spline output,so you'll need a 31 spline output..ebay has a zinc plated crossmember for a decent price..of course pedal assembly,etc....
