An uprated disk would be nice, I have not had an issue there yet though.
The Kennedy pressure plate seems to provide plenty of clamping pressure
for the LT1 app.

The std disk will suffer, just a question of how long it will
last.  So far may failure mode has been the diaphragm in the
clutch pressure plate failing.  

I know Rob Dupree blew up at at least one gearbox AutoXing and the
clutch disk survived that kind of abuse.
