manual trans and clutch quaetion

Racers, for those of you racing a manual trans.
I am considering building and racing in the Nostalgia Modified and Gassers association. This is a new program that is beginning in the North Texas service area. Other areas of the country run similar programs.

It is an index program with break out in place. The specific classes I am considering are C/G on 5.92 index or D/G on 6.09 index. It will be a relatively light weight, back half door car with a 408 LS engine so the performance will be easily attained.

My question, tell me about the clutch and transmission that will give good service life and will be relatively easy to maintain. As of now, to win the event would mean 6 or 7 passes for the day, including time trials.

NOTE: clutchless shifting is allowed.
