Default Need clutch help quick!!

My clutch just went out and I'm trying to decide which one to buy. I have '95 347 SUPERCHARGED GT and was just quoted 1200 on a new FRPP HD clutch install. I dont know how much hp I have since I just bought it but is there a clutch out there that could work for me thats not super expensive?

spec. and center force are good clutches, and wow 1200 thats a joke a clutch can be changed in a 95 by a shop in 2 hours if they work slow... hell it took me 3 hours doing it in my garage "flat backing it"

still thats alot, i would say 400 for the whole clutch set up, 150 for the driveshaft, and 200 for the fly wheel and thats kinda pricey for the parts. 850 for parts no more than 1 hour labor charge

centerforce will slip, I put in a brand new dual friction, and it started slipping after around 3000kms, and 2 times at the dragstrip. thumbs down for centerforce

I vote spec stage 3, good for 680 ft/lbs
and they have a high clampload on their pressure plates.
they wont slip.
