Default Replacing Clutch Which Setup?

I am looking at going to a RAM 910 disc, 402pp and Steel Flywheel or a McLeod Street Twin Disc. The cost difference is about $200 with the Twin being the higher cost. I am going to change the clutch went I rebuild the motor and m6 for a high boost turbocharging. I would like to drive this car on the weekend or cruising days. What do you guys recommend?

I just installed a Spec Stage 3 clutch with an aluminum flywheel last Monday and am VERY happy with it thus far. It has taken (and still needs a few more) miles to wear in to where taking off smoothly is possible but once the car is moving, shifting is perfect. There is a "little" move peddle pressure (less then 25% more).

I almost went with the RAM clutch but ended up going with the Spec due to all the positive remarks I was getting about it.

I am going to be asking for a ton of holding power after my engine buildup and high boost turbo. That is why I asked about these two.

Man I really do not know how to help u but I can give u my .02 cents. I have that exact RAM setup from Futral Motorsports. I love it and that damn clutch will chatter if u try to slip it, that's why it's KICKASS for Nitrous, S/C, T/C. I have just learned to drive it, yes u have to learn how to drive a stick again with this RAM setup because of how badass it is. I also have a buddy that has the twin disc, he loves it. Either way u go u will not regret it. The only time I wished I got the twin disc is 2 weeks after I bought my RAM the twin disc went on GP sale for the same price ($900). I love my clutch setup, I think it just comes down to the "catch a tiger by his toes" pick because I did the same thing, it was about even pros/cons for both.

How about wear? Between the two setups, which will more likely wear out the least? My 6130 Ram disc only has 23000 miles on it and I think it's going out.

About 40 runs on the strip with BFG Drag Radials with and without nitrous. On street, I can't keep count.
