Default Stock clutch replacement, any suggestions?

I really don't plan on modding much, so I want to stay with a near stock clutch. Preferably organic.

I just need a pres plate, clutch and throw out bearing. My last throw out came apart and cracked my bellhousing As a result my p-plate looks hot spotted, but my flywheel and pilot look perfect (I'm still going to resurface)

I've had my eye on the spec stage one. Any feedback on the spec or other brand suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

*EDIT* It's a 98 with non adjustable hydraulics

The RAM HDX clutch kit might be a good choice for you , it is good up to 425 hp and has an organic clutch disc , we have it for $339.95 and we're running a special on RAM clutches right now with free shipping . See more details on the site www.neweraperformanceparts.com .

i've been told spec 2 drives like stock, but really grabs hard under heavy acceleration. i think that would be a better option than the stage 1.

I've had a kevlar on my 5.0 and it's a great clutch. But I'm trying to keep this cheap too. Byrne is selling the spec sg1 for $280 with a 10% discount. Has anyone had any experience with these?

My mods are really basic, lid, filter, exhaust.

I ordered mine today for $273.99 shipping included from TByrne. Couldn't find a better deal.

BTW Mike I was really leaning towards the RAM but the wife was in my ear. She assumes that cheaper is better, maybe she'll change her mind when I use the cheap condoms with hookers
