Default Need some Suggestions with New Clutch

I am getting my Trans rebuilt by Rebuilds. I am doing everything since the trans is out and I want a new clutch. I was thinking on going with the Centerforce Dual Friction and a Fidenza flywheel. Does anyone know of anything better for the price. I don't want anything to expensive and I am not a big fan of SPEC. Right now the car has MAF,LID,PAc LT's, ORY and LM untuned looking on getting a cam soon. Any suggestions. Or is what I have picked out fine??

I just crushed my centerforce DF and went to the RAM twin disc.

IMHO...you cannot go wrong with Textralia clutches. I've had 7 different clutches in the SS and by far this Textralia clutch is the best clutch I have EVER had in my car bar none. What I can't get over is how smooth the tranny shifts now having the same fluid since the Spec 5. It has never shifted this smooth. Not only that but I have the new Exo-Skell DD and the pedal feel/clutch engagement is like a stock clutch. Can only imagine what the single disc feels like. I honestly don't know how they do it but they do...What ever you do don't skimp on a good clutch set up unless you just don't mind pulling your tranny on a regular basis. Textralia all the way!!! It just doesn't get any better...

Here's some pics of my dual disc.

Probably a good choice since it supports some serious stock power.
