I would contact the guys over at Ram Clutches for their help. They hooked me up with a Cobra R spec clutch and pressure plate that was awesome. Break in on the clutch was ok because it was closer to OE standards than most.

I have also had a Spec stage III clutch and break in time on it seemed to be zilch. I was racing the hell out of that car just a short time after the clutch was put in, that was the most positive feeling clutch I have ever used, but thanks to a warped pressure plate and their refusal to accept that they have EVER released a faulty product I wont be using them agian. My Clutch mechanic even said it came that way from the factory and that there was no way I could have warped it like that.

I also hear that McLeod is one hell of a clutch.

I have used Luk, Spec, Ram, Ford Racing (Which I think uses Luk, not sure.)

best of luck.

Spec stage 2 or Spec stage 3 both should be able to hold the torque without slipping.
