Default Clutch Help Please...

Hey I have a 1999 Camaro z28 with about 75k on it. It has the stock clutch with yes 75k on it. I plan to mod the car midly and maybe a power adder. I would like the car to still be streetable and confortable to drive. Which brings me to the concluding questions/statments:

1) What is a good clutch for my needs? (Maybe the SPEC Stage 2?)
2) Besides the clutch itself... What else do you suggest/or do I NEED to buy?
3) How much do you think installation on the clutch would be?
4) How much do you think the whole project might cost with your suggestions?
5) Please point out ANYTHING you think I should know or give any and all advice.

I'd like to conclude with... I want to do this right but not go broke doing it.

Thanks for the help everyone!

There really is not a cheap out if your stock. IMO you'll need everything, Master,slave clutch set & pilot bearing. So cheap is not an option if you want trouble free.

My car is stock except the exhaust, so I don't know if you'll want a different clutch. I ordered the Z06 clutch and flywheel package.

It cost me $363.19 for labor that included the drill mod and making the Master Cylinder adjustable. The Pontiac dealership qouted me a price of $500 for the labor just to replace the parts.

Here is what I ordered from GMPartsDirect.com:

GM Part #
15046288 Slave CYLINDER 1 $91.38
15705563 Release BEARING 1 $51.44
14061685 Pilot BEARING 1 $8.17
12570806 Z06 FLYWHEEL pckge 1 $320.42
12570277 Master CYLINDER 1 $106.05

forget the pilot bearing. get the bushing from pepboys. its 1.20. When I had my clutch installed and the pilot bearing went out less then 10K miles because during install, the place banged the bearing up damage'n it. Bushing works the same and is so much better w/o worrin' about a bearing going out again.
