Temp was at about 73 degres. If I want to get more out of it will have to replace the clutch, it would not hold very good on those 2.0 sixty foot

Times a little on the slower side, based on mods this should be a 13.2 and lower car, I understand that your learning though so good runs, get that 60' down to probebly 1.9 or 1.8

You will get that easily with a clutch and more seat time.

We've had good experience w/ Competition and spec stage 2 clutches in my cousin's car (2002 Altima 3.5)... overall I believe he prefers the Spec clutch

I wouldn't touch a spec clutch. I've seen too many clutch explosions from specs. I don't know all the manufacturers of clutches for 3.5s, but I'd stick with ACT, Exedy, South Bend (DXD), RPS, Clutchnet. The JWT 350Z clutch is a wonderful clutch too and would fit your needs well.

Explosions oo wee... That is rough.... Thankfully we've had nothing but good results w/ it in the almost 2 years he's had the spec on his car
