So were you looking for clutch suggestions I take it? I think that a Ram Powergrip would probably get the job done for you. It will also give you a building block for mods to come.
Stock replacement on the hydraulics is the way to go too. I would get a new slave atleast.

New 01 or newer slave is a must if you are in there and plan on future mods. The ram is a good piece, I like my SPEC 3+ absoutly no problems anymore. A lot of the problems I have seen with SPEC are install error.

I too run the RAM slave. Mcleod master is a piece of crap, steer clear of that one.

I was actually looking at the SPEC stage 2+, but you have a choice between two flywheels one steel the other aluminum, whats the difference? just weight? or maybe lifetime?,,,

btw the only mods that i think i'm going to add in the near future is a ls6 intake, headers, and true duals

and could you link me a site that has a slave cylinder for sale? havnt been able to find one on the sights ive been looking at.

thanks,
michael
