SPEC Star clutches are good....so are McLeod. I'd so go with one of them.

I bought a McLeod Rev-Lok II out of Thunder Racing. It broke 3 weeks after it was installed. Both McLeod and Thunder Racing left me out to dry.

I've got the Z06 clutch right now. I like it a lot. I do a lot of city and freeway driving. No problems. Feels much better than the stock clutch. Still light but grabs a bit more and not a pain to drive in stop n' go traffic.

I've also heard great things about the SPEC clutches. If you're looking for a "racing" clutch, I'd go with a spec clutch.

For what its worth I've had the Mcleod in my car for 3 years. I love it and have never had a problem with it. I take the car to the track as well as it being my daily driver.

I went with the McLeod single disk and the updated hydraulics. This clutch can hold 400-450 HP (I think). I wanted to upgrade without spending too much $$$. This car is my daily driver but it will eventually be an all-out race car. The clutch is very streetable. It has very smooth engagement. I broke it in for about 500 miles; it chattered slightly coming out of first until it was broken it. The only difference I feel compared to stock is that I can't ease out of first by letting off the clutch slightly. It holds great too-I lit 'em up all the way to 4th gear.
