I've head RPS makes a pretty decent setup for those. Haven't used one myself though.

Not sure what you are looking for. You have to define "good". Good for what? Good for street? Good for racing? Good compromise? Good for longevity? Good for quick shifting? Etc. Of course there are always compromises no matter what you spend on a clutch. Those compromises give you other benefits. Such as light disc = quicker shifting, but light disc = solid center = more noise.

There are countless threads with many points of view. There is no way a new thread is going to come close to the results of doing some research. But warning: Don't always believe what you read! Call around too.

Both Exedy and ACT makes great clutch at an affordable price. Its hard to define "good" because this depend on what you are using the car for and your driving style. I personally like the Exedy because the pedal feel is better for my taste. However, ACT is a great and it holds up to the power.

Thanks,
Tom

i have a Tilton twin disc that is great...depends on what kind of driving you do though, it takes some getting used to but you can shift lightning fast and will hold the power level you are wanting easily...

Then Exedy twin is perfect for you. I have it and making 530 Dynojet whp on C16 and been going to drag strips almost monthly last year. It's still hold up good.
