REEG - I have one full racing season on the stock clutch. I even ran a few races with the OS V-Spec. Something must be wrong since you keep wearing clutches out? What keeps happening to your clutches? Stretched/broken springs? Worn shoes? Any bearing problems?
Im not familiar with the GT. Its kind of like the Inferno buggy though right? The stock Kyosho .28 comes with engine mounts as part of the engine block. If you go to another brand of engine, you will have to purchase the engine mount kit for the Inferno 7.5. Thats what I used on my OS V-Spec. Works great. With this set up, you can remove your engine for maintenance/cleaning, and not worry about messing up your gear mesh. The mounts stay bolted to the chassis. As far as what OS engine you can install for high end, probably any will do. They are solid performers. You need to mess around with your clutch bell/spur gear ratios to achieve high top end. Keep in mind, high top end, mean poor low end. Your model could suffer that low end grunt needed to rocket out of turns. Good low end, will make your top end suffer. Your model can top out on speed before it gets to the end of the straightawy. You want your model to keep pulling through a staright so it always accelerates. Mess around with the combos. 1 tooth higher or lower will make a difference. You will be surprised. Try to get your vehicle set up for a "happy medium". A well balanced car will be much better than a car with all top end, or all low end.
For tires, I am using Proline Bow Ties and Hole Shots. 90% of the time Im using the Hole Shots. On my T-MAXX I am using GRP Micro Monster tires. I REALLY like the GRP tires. They come with internal ribs to prevent ballooning, precut and installed foams (no wrestling with them to get even balanced tires), great quality, and are less expensive. I am going to make the switch to GRPs next season for my buggy. They make a few tires that are similar to the Prolines.

RE: Kyosho Inferno Us Sports - 
-- It came unassembled so I had to build it from scratch -- It was great ! It took about 16 or so hours to complete. My cousin helped me build it -- I can officially say that I've built my own car -- The building process was great -- Every set came in little bags so you could not go wrong -- The body I will have to still
