12 button
As for your clutch problems, You got it to hot, it "welded" the disc and pressure plate or disc and flywheel together. When you take it apart, you'll find one of the two if not both stuck together..A hammer will take good care of it. Or just drop it on the floor, it'll come apart. Not standing up for one clutch maker or another but it wasnt really the clutches problem, your essentially doing a boosted launch on a single disc. Creates alot of heat and friction. It's bound to happen.

i don't think your going to be able to use it again. i would go with a dd. thats what happens when you show off at school.
i think i seen your truck before is it a ext cab long bed silver in color with 3rd gen wheels.

You could use it again, not that you would want to. I'd say you've galled the disc, flywheel and pressure plate . You've added alot of heat by doing a burnout this way. The correct way to light the tires is say a 10 MPH roll and matt the throttle. You've got alot less chance of damage this way.
