Question spec, mcleod, ram?????

we need to replace my clutch assem and flywheel....
the car is a 2000 ss with a few mods nothing radical(slp headers, 411 gear, 1/8 rockers)
had a centerforce clutch and was told a z06 clutch from gm would do good but then was told a spec 4 would do better.
what do yall think is the best clutch assem.????
thanks for the advice in advance!!

i am facing this choice as well. Lots of people say don't go with spec because lately i've seen quite a few problems with them, perhaps it's hit or miss. The mcleod and ram are expensive though, so it's a tough choice.

Try the manual transmission section. Use the search button to read lots of feedback from others. I'm an A4 guy so it doesn't mean much (if anything) but i like the twin disk McLeod. It'll cost you though!
