Default Clutch Woes

I am very frustrated with my aftermarket clutches. Two years ago I went with a SPEC stage III with an aluminum flywheel(almost a $ grand). First time at the track.....up in smoke. Last year, I went with a Centerforce(single mass to use with my $400 aluminum flywheel), and not much better results. My stock set-up was better than either of these two. I am begininng to think that it might be the flywheel. Regardless, I am ready to ditch the whole set-up.

I have a couple of questions:

1)Where can I get info and the best pricing on the McCleod clutches?

and

2)Will an LT1 F-body single mass flywheel work on my 94 LT1? (I have been in contact with RAM and they offer a high performance set-up for the F-body LT1 cars but wasn't sure if they will fit the LT1 vettes)

Any help or suggestions is, as always, appreciated.

yes, the Fbody flywheel will fit, but it needs to be cut down .090 for it to fit right. make sure it hasn't already been cut, tho.
