Manual Transmission - Clutch advice

So I've got a '99 Z-28 and it REALLY needs a clutch. I've been doing a lot of research and it seems most guys are using Spec stage 3+'s in their cars. Sadly, I'm too broke to afford one and it needs to be replaced SOON. I've seen Stage 1s for around $250 and Stage 2s for around $380. I wanted to know if any of you guys have had experience with either of these clutches and to share your thoughts. Thanks!

what power level do you need to hold?

Its my DD, so stock power levels with room to grow with bolt ons and such

Get a LS7 clutch kit. It will do what you want.

I havent been able to find an LS7 clutch kit for sale, how much are they?

I got mine from Scoggin Dickey. They are a sponsor of the site and there are several other sponsors that sell them. They are $459 for the clutch kit and the flywheel on SD's site unless you want an aluminum flywheel and then its $559. Of course you can check the other sponsors and maybe beat that price but I liked the way SD took care of everything I ordered from them. You have to get the flywheel since the LS1 flywheel won't work with the clutch.

ls7 is HEAVY....sucks up power

get the light flywheel to help make up for it
