Default 1995 Z28 Clutch Advice Needed

Hey guys been reading this forum since I was 15, and I've been through 4 camaro's since then.

I'm on my current 95 z28, and she is mainly stock with, 4.10 gears, and a 125 wet shot. I kept the tiny street tires to save my stock clutch and 10 bolt, until i can afford a strange 12 bolt after deployment.
But after blowing the doors off a 2005+ mustang that was antagonizing the sh$% out of me, I roasted my clutch in 4th gear. It started slipping and now slips while cruising in a high gear if I give it any gas.
Everyone and there mom has a recommendation on which clutch i should get. I've heard centerforces are good with nitrous because they increase grip with rpm ??? Also heard the Mcleod RST twin is a good set up for a weekend warrior.
I want dd clutch with plenty of holding power for highway runs on the bottle, and launches with some sticky street tires.
any advice would be appreciatted.
thanks in advance

all my mods are in my sig. all i have done is put in a ls7 clutch package from ebay. 389.00 shipped to my house. if i am right i believe it is a 640 pd tq clutch. i got the flywheel and clutch for that price... and put in a new slave cylinder. definately put in a new one when you put the new clutch in. it will save you time and alot of headache..

I'm a big fan of the ram powergrip's, had good luck so far with them. There are actually several threads on this and a few polls on clutches.

LT1s use the pull-style pressure plate, which is reverse of almost every other type of clutch. Go to this website www.diamondclutch.com and look at the 3 Basic kits that I offer. I can sell you an LT1 version of any of them for $439. However, I just don't stock the flywheel for the LT1. Let me know.

We offer 7 different stages for this application and the most commonly purchased part for high-torque and aggressive use for those seeking daily driver characteristics would be our Stage 3+. It will provide great drivability and plenty of capacity for your needs and the kit is complete with a full-faced carbon-graphite disc, high-clamp pressure-plate, TOB and Pilot bearing as well as the alignment tool. We also offer steel and aluminum flywheels too. I provided a link that you may be interested in as well. Take a look and let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
