SPEC III or Ram Powergrip HD Pretty simple. Not sure which is better, as I've heard good and bad about both now. 
Car has LT's, TR224 cam, catback, K&N FIPK, 18" rims, and a clutch that can't grip the 1-2 WOT shift since the header (and now cam) install. ANy input would be grand.
BTW, I also looked at the Textralia clutch. The website doesn't really give much info, to include cost.

I had the Powergrip HD... I'm sure you can see the pics of my clutch carnage in one of the other threads. 
I now have the McLeod Twin Disk and couldn't be happier with it... I know its pricey, but damn... well worth it if you don't gotta replace clutches all the time like I was doing.

i've had the HD now for about 400 miles and its grabs hard as sh*t. i love it except for the traffic thing. that is a royal PITA!! never driven a car w/ a spec clutch though. i know a guy who swears by them and ran it in his 700hp T/A with no problems.

Neither. I have been thru three spec III's, and only one of them worked. If that is your only choice, I would go with the Ram, but if you want a real clutch that has no performance issues, go with a textralia. I have that now and it holds my 615/lbs. with no slippage.

Look in this thread for the pics of my Powergrip HD after about 800 miles and 8 track passes.
