Thinking of adding a root's style blower to my c5 z06 (has pretty much most n/a addons, LG longtubes, etc...) .... at what power levels would I be wanting to upgrade the stock clutch?

Right before you install your SC would be the best time to upgrade. You're gonna need it anyway.

I had my clutch done roughly 2-3 months after my A&A blower was put in... It didn't handle the power right after the install so if funds allow if I were you do it when you install the blower

It also depends on driving style the stock clutch was okay for the most part but I couldn't row through the gears like I wanted to

Probably a stupid question, but what's the (rough) cost of a clutch job for one taht could support mild blower power levels (not insane power levels - I'm shooting for safe boost without having to build up the engine internals) for casual street driving?

I probably should do it myself, but, eh, I'm lazy at the moment, lol.

I think it was $3000 installed. I paid $10k for both the s/c and clutch with A&A and i think the s/c was $7k. They recommended a stock feeling clutch that would hold 700hp. Before buying our s/c I talked with a guy who did not replace his clutch, and it started slipping two weeks after he brought his car home from the s/c install.
With this information, I had A&A install everything. The 3k included other parts that need to be replaced when the clutch is replaced. The kit included a new pressure plate.

Our dyno results was 515.76rwhp which equates to 606hp at the flywheel.

I have the ACT twin disk rated to hold 850 lb ft of torque... It was on A&A 's website for $ 1200 ish and I think I was charged 500 for install. I like the cluch a lot and its not very hard or bad to drive.

i'm just taking it easy on my stocker til it goes. so far, it's holding surprisingly well. that's with 480whp on my TVS LS1.

after that, i've been looking at a McLeod RST or the Mantic
