Default Questions about drag racing C6

I have been drag racing my C6 base (non Z51) more often and want to upgrade to run better times. Right now I'm just running 325 Invos. My car is an 08 base with an A&A kit, meth injection, long tubes, no cats, exhaust. I'm right about 570whp uncorrected for elevation.
I am thinking about picking up some 17×9.5 C5 zo6 fronts and MT et streets starting them off about 20 psi and go from there. Also thinking about disconnecting the front sway bar.
Are there any other things I can do to help improve times easily? Think my stock clutch will survive?
Thanks in advance.

I would go with the 17 x 9.5 C5 Z06 front wheels, but I think the M/T ET Streets are a little too much bite for a supercharged C6 with a 6 speed. Might take the chance of breaking the rear or thr trans or both. I'd go with a M/T drag radial size 275-40-17. Don't worry about disconnecting the front sway bar just yet. Get a baseline with the drag radials and go from there.

As far as the stock clutch is concerned it should hold the power for a while.
