Default what to do for new clutch

well i had a used ( good shape) mcleod single disc and aluminum flywheel i had a rivet like come loose and mess up the flywheel surface and then the clutch. i bought a (good shape) used spec 3clutch and 4 pressure plate but after a 200 shot run it is gone plus i was in a burnout contest and tried 4th and thats whats what started the slippin. i loved the mcleod in town but am not sure of the power capability, and the spec sucked in town but was really grippy.
im geting tired of swaping clutches my buddie and i got it down to about just under 2hrs. so i was thinking of haven the mcleod rebuilt. ($350 PLUS SHIPPING) they said, new pressure plate clutc repucked and new surface installed on lumin flywheel (I LOVED THE ALUM FLYWHEEL NO NOISE NO VIBRATION AWESOME RESPONCE)
or just buyin a new spec 3 maybe 4. ($450+) or if anybody has a good idea im open just nothing to high priced under like 600$
my car has a stock motor with boltons full exhaust and a 200 TNT shot i dynoed stock at 330 HP and 340 TQ before any mods so LTs and no cat y and magnaflo cat back jsut little stuff and timing tuner i went 12.4 (60ft=1.75 DRs) on motors and 11.4 (60ft=1.78 DRs) on 150 babying the launch but now i got a 9in and slicks no good 200 shot times as clutch wont hold
so any help would be great thats everyone

A Spec 3 should be fine for ya. You just can't be stupid doing things like 4th gear BO's, lol. You can take the best clutch in the world and F it up being stupid.

You should be around 350-60 NA and prolly 550ish on spray, a Spec 3 should be adequate...

I'm using the Ram VDS 910 and really like it. BTW, use a line lock for those burnouts
