Default SFI approved bellhousings?

Even though my Textralia clutch has performed flawlessly so far, I would feel much safer with an sfi approved bellhousing. I know there are a couple of options for kevlar blankets, and possibly steel bellhousings, but does anyone know which option provides the most security at the least additional weight? I'm probably ok just turning 7k rpm right now, but I plan on running a bigger cam and heads with more boost, and I have grown fond of my legs.

Go with the McLeod bellhousing, it's actually on sale right now at Thunder Racing.

Does anyone know if the SFI approved version requires any modification to the T56? Will I need to run a special set of hydraulics, or can I just bolt it to my LS1 and bolt my T56 to it? I can't get anyone on the phone at McLeod to ask.
