im sure sooner or later, someone is going to respond and pull the "do a search" b/s...and "ur in the wrong section" so i'm gonna say it before anyone who takes this stuff too seriously sees it and has a heart attack lol..anyways, i'm in ur same boat, lookin for a clutch and if you scroll down a little more you'll see a section specifically for "manual transmission" and i have a few posts asking whats best for certain setups and tons more on what clutch to get for certain HP and torque ratings. As for my own opinion so far from just what i read, spec seems to be hit or miss, ive been reading more and more bad about them, but then the other half i read is excellent, as for Ram...ive read tons of good, (powergrip) and ive just recently discovered clutchmasters...good luck w/ ur search.

zo6 clutch will let you down with that heads and cam...i'd go with a spec stg. 3...spec's hit or miss is from people not following the directions on the break in period...or they assume that they can do the break in period all on the interstate...which it mean a certain amount of miles of city driving...where you actually use the clutch often...anyhow i would still go a little bit past the break in period before you start dumping it and stuff...just to be on the safe side...oh and btw the "use the search" is getting old...it takes the same amount of time to give an answer... even though you should've asked this in the manual trans section...
