Default Clutch Suggestions

So I have about 60k on my stock clutch and it slips at times. I'm sure I could baby it for awhile longer. But I figure I might as well get it out of the way in next couple months. I was looking at getting either the Mopar high torque clutch that is on Moderns site or else one from Centerforce. Centerforce recommends this one:

Future mods are not much more then I have now. I might put a cam in it at some point, but I definitely am not going to boost it. Is the Mopar one on Moderns site a modular clutch? I have made probably 100 passes on the drag strip so that would probably be a good reason mine is slipping already.

Anyone know if that one on Moderns site is a modular clutch? I know that centerforce one is modular. I'm assuming having a modular clutch would make the install slightly quicker since it is all in "one" piece. I am not installing it myself so it doesn't really matter other then trying to keep install costs down...

installing the modular clutch is easy, the worst part is dropping the tranny

Any reason I should spend the extra money and get the Centerforce? The Mopar clutch is about half the price...

yeah, the only reason i went with centerforce is because it is capable of holding 450 or five hundred hp.... cant remember what the exact number was but it was in the range i needed
