Default 2012 ZL600 Clutch

I need some advice. I just acquired a 2012 ZL600 SLP Camaro. The internals are beefed up and I think its running about 750HP give or take. My problem is that it has a race clutch together with a hotter cam. This makes the car surge and basically unstreetable, especially at low speeds. It is very difficult to drive at normal speeds.
I would like to swap out the clutch to a more stock or milder version, understanding that it still needs to be some sort of heavy duty version to handle the increased torque and HP. I need suggestions regarding what clutch to purchase that will make this car somewhat streetable and easier to drive.

Might consider a less radical cam,that's where it's usually the problem trying to street drive a car with basically a racing engine set up.
Big lumpy cams don't like low rpms.
I have an LS7 clutch in my car but it's rated I think 500 hp and that's about what I'm making at the crank.
Another option is lower rear end gears,that will limit top speed but how fast do you want to go?
Lower butt gears will mean less clutch slip to get moving and give the motor a chance to gain rpms quicker limiting the surge.
