Default Need some clutch help.

I feel a little lost in the woods here. Last November my clutch blew out due to miles and a little abuse. I made it to 65000 miles on my stock clutch and several people have told me that's pretty much average for a Z28, SS, or WS6. I didn't know if the was true or not, especially since my truck has 200,000 miles on it still on the stock clutch. Anyway, to the problem. I'm looking to replace the clutch but am not sure on a good brand or the exact type of set up to run. From what I've been reading so far the Ram clutches seem to have a good reputation for quality and price, I just wanted to get people's take on here how they were and if anybody might be running them. My WS6 is bone stock so I'm not needing anything real heavy but I'd like something a little better at least than what was stock. On top of it being stock I'm going to give my T/A to my dad as soon as it's fixed and he sure as hell isn't going to be doing any racing, just cruising. I was thinking of going with the 98-02 LS1 Ram Powergrip HD Performance Clutch Set as specified at this link, http://www.ws6project.com/user_stor/...roducts_id=307. I was planning to pick up a light weight flywheel and do it at the same time along with the rear main seal. Do I need to upgrade with an adjustable master and slave cylinder while I'm at it? I'm no mechanic and will be doing what I can by myself, this is supposed to be a learning experience for me. Just feeling a bit overwhelmed here and don't know exactly how to start. Lastly, will I have to pull the headers to get access to everything? If so I'm going to replace them while I'm at it. Sorry for the long winded post but I kept coming up with more questions as I typed this any help will be greatly appreciated.

I just put a spec stage 3 in mine , it's really not a bad job it only took about 4 hours but I had access to a lift . I didn't have to take my headers off.
