Default Which clutch should I use for my setup?

I have an 00 SS and I need a good reliable clutch setup.
I have minor mods (headers,exhaust,lid,) and I plan to go with a heads/cam package in a year or 2. I was leaning towards ether the McLeod single disk or a the Ram VDS system. Which would you guys recommend. I want something that's gonna last, with little/no chatter, and a decent price. Track runs are maybe 1 a month if that.

Thanks

what clutch did you have before the RAM? Is that the same clutch that's in the RAM VDS system? How many miles do you have on it?

i was told the vds clutch you can tune it,make it grab harder or back it off from under the car.futural motorsports(allen)told me i would not need a vds system,because it's really a street car,the vds is more for cars that go to the track alot more then i do.
