yea i bet the reason that the clutch exploded like that, since you said it blew before 500mi, is because it was never broken in. it never got a chance to completely set and bond together

i hears spec clutches are very common to break!!!! my2 friends had Taurus SHO's with Spec Stage 1 clutches and they both went out at around 1000 miles. They both properly broke them in. Also a guy in the local area has his give at around 2500 miles. Id go with the king cobra kit. Its cheap, and very very reliable.
