Need clutch advice + opinions

I have a feeling my clutch is going out. Not verified yet but in case it is...

If Infiniti doesn't warranty my clutch (21k miles on the car) what kind of aftermarket clutch set up should I go for. Keep in mind I will be putting a Vortech V3 in the car at some point.

Also, should I go ahead and do a lightened flywheel at the same time?

Gimme some of your suggestions and opinions on future clutch upgrade.

ya my clutch went out too around 27000, sure i drove my car hard but hard enough to result in a new clutch. Infiniti didn't cover the clutch. My mecanic said no matter what i did it shouldn't have went out that quick.

There's lots of posts of clutches going out in less than 30K, all of them had been launching hard and speed shifting. I have launched mine hard maybe 8 times.
