New clutch for my 2000

Can you guys provide me with a list of my options (and reviews) for replacing the clutch in my car? I am on a tight budget, so if you could provide some approximate prices or places with screamin deals that'd be cool. Depending on the total cost and what is involved I may or may not want to upgrade. All options will be considered. I tried the search function (here and LS1.com) and didnt get quite what I was looking for. Thanks a ton!!!

I'm looking for a new clutch too. I searched and only found a few things. Doesn't need to be an awesome race clutch as my car is an everyday driver. I will be adding headers and pullies to my car also.

ok, looking into the star spec 3, with a new flywheel its going to run me about 500 bones. For about that much I can upgrade to the 2001-2002 hydraulics and get the Z06 setup from Gmpartsdirect. Which would be the better way to go?

I have been told that no matter what clutch you choose you should upgrade the hydraulics on the 98-00 models.

The Z06 setup should hold up considerably well, if you drive the car appropriately. A friend of mine has put 30-35k hard miles on his setup without incident. However, upgrading the hydraulics is key on 98-00 car.

I have no complaints with the RAM VDS setup in my car. The bronze metallic disk can be a little chattery at times, but overall it is well worth it (a little $$$ though). I purchased the setup along with upgraded hydraulics from Mikey at Rapid Motorsports.
