Which of these clutches is best?

I'm getting a new clutch, and here is what I'm looking at. The price is so simliar, that it doesn't matter which one.

RAM HDX Performance Set, Includes Plate, Disc, and Bearing, Rated to 425 HP, 1993-1997 LT1 F-Body
Price: $384.99

or

SPEC Stage 1 Clutch, 1993-97 LT1 F-Body
Price: $385.99
Description:
Good for up to 400 lbs./ft. of Torque; excellent upgrade over stock. It will come with a metal backed/organic faced disk.

What do you guys think? My T/A is lightly modifed, and I will most likely be getting headers and a new Y pipe this summer. Also, which would be the best place to buy one of these at? Thanks fellas!

I got my Spec III for 500 shipped. Dont dick around with those other clutches. They will not last for more than a year. And if you try to use drag slicks, they will slip when you hook. I bought a brand new RAM clutch and it slipped on street tires.

Street Twin hands down. Drives like stock around town, but if u want, it will kill the weakest link in your drivetrian

I've heard a lot about ram clutches being pretty crappy. I'd go with a stage 2 spec or a mcleod twin disk.
