I have had some trouble with clutch in my Impala so I was working on it today instead of the truck. I have smoked two clutches in it already this year. I ended up going with a McLeod RST twin disc clutch good for 800 H.P. after a proper break-in which the tech guy said was 12-15 hundred clutch cycles (basically everytime you shift or take off is a cycle) I got a little over 3 hundred cycles on it this afternoon when I took it out for a ride. Here are the install pictures for anyone interested in this type of clutch:

It basically has a disc against the flywheel and another that rides on the intermediate plate. The pressure plate mounts to a ring that is mounted onto the flywheel where the clutch would normally bolt up. No chatter on takeoff and it shifts fine also.
