Best Clutch/Flywheel Combo

What is the best clutch/flywheel combo to hold about 500lbs of TQ. Im looking to spend about 800 dollars. If this is to little smack my high hopes down. I searched and it came up with a whole heap of useless threads. Clutch is to common a word on this forum.

I didnt say to include an install price, i just need to know the price for the parts and the best for the money. I already know who will install the clutch+flywheel for me, They quoted me 500 for just about any clutch+flywheel. I'm looking to spend about 800 for the parts. Thanks for input.

Edit: Just noticed the link was that cheap for a used 1. Not too sure about buying a used clutch though!

Yeah... a used clutch sounds like a crappy idea. Thats like buying used tires or brake pads to me. I dont think i could do it.

Unless I knew the person that is! The clutch in the link says only 2 weeks of "light" use. It also "looks" to be in VERY good condition. You just take a big chance going used. I will probably go ACT Stage 1 or 2, or WORKS stage 2 w/ flywheel.

if it truly was 2 weeks of light use than it would be worth it

Hell yeah! If someone buys it for under $800, and has no issues after install, it would be the deal of the year!
