Too much power for stock clutch, Help me out!!!

I recently installed a nitrous kit and it seems to overwhelm the stock clutch. If I hit nitrous through one gear, I have to physically pull the clutch off of the floor. It's time for a new one. For those who have purchased a new clutch, which did you get? How much was the install? I understand it will be more expensive because I have long tube headers. Help

Steve,
The famous sticking clutch pedal. Mine is going in next week for the same problem.
Clutch #5

Cartek clutch is your best bet and I know a couple of places in the area to install.
500.00 with headers usually.

Tom,
It will be $500 for installation With long tube headers? That is actually less than what I was expecting. Is the Cartek clutch I need the one that is about $920 on their site? If I can get this done for under $1500 than I will be a happy camper. I will need your recomendation on where to get the install done.

Research your clutch VERY carefull! I have read some horror stories over the years on some very popular aftermarket clutches...My suggestion is to go with the improved 02 Z06 clutch....I believe this is what some of the tuners recommend..
