Default Slipping clutch

Went to Outlaw today to get tuned and dynoed only problem was the clutch would start slipping at 5,200 rpms and the hp and tq would level out. Shitty centerforce. So a wasted day and money. I am now going to buy a new clutch so my ? is should I go with a spec or just go all out and go with a McCloud ( I think that is how you spell it?)? The spec is about $600 good to 700hp for the one i would get and the McCloud is $1300 but good to just about what ever hp you throw at it.
Let me know what you guys would do.

Get the Textralia for $899 or whatever it is. The single disc is good for over 600hp and the dual Exo-Skel is $1299 and is probably the best twin disc you can buy right now.

My LS6 slipped a lot on the upper RPMs too and then I just switched to the Tex OZ700 and I love it. Feels like stock but grips real good.

Yeah, if you have seen my shop you know my opinion of SPEC. I have a 3x5 SPEC banner hanging with TH350 painted over it.

I went through 4 in a year. They kept sending me the new and inproved disk compound. I sold the las one and went TH350.
