Default Clutch help

I'm at the point where I'm ready to buy my clutch and I need to get some input on which one will be best for my setup. Should be around 400-450hp with a supercharger. It is just a weekend car, not a drag car or daily driver. I don't want the clutch to be to stiff where it is no fun to drive on the street. What do you guys think:
Zoom, Centerforce, Ram, McCleod, Spec

Everyone has their favorites and the reasons why they like them so much. I am running a mcleod 800 series in my TKO600.

some have issues with Spec, I havent had any issues in 3years. Spec stage 3 good for up to 600... no chatter. Thats my vote.

I like my SPEC even though I never got to test its holding power.

Maybe just a suggestion,but king cobra clutches kick ass and last forever.
I had one in my 84 Mustang,and it had a little bit of head work and all the bolt ons,probably sitting at about 275 to 300 horsepower,and that clutch lasted literally about seven years.(it was my grandpas before mine btw)

I had 1 in my 89 with a 347... it helf fine. But after about a month of driving your left leg begins to look abnormal... My car was a DD and i went from tampa to largo 3days a week, 5pm - 1030pm for school... Driving across the bridge at that time sucked balls!! at least I still had A/C tho..
