Clutch Needed (Not basic Clutch)

I need some help with finding a clutch. My car is at Buschur for a full build since I blew my motor and my Exedy HD Twin isnt going to be enough to hold the new power! It is my DD and I need the clutch to last, and also handle the abuse of Drag Racing. When I get it back, it should be between 550-600awhp on 93+Meth, and mid 600s on C-16. I need to know what my best option is for the clutch?

Exedy HD Triple Cerametalic (Rebuild- $900, hard to find kit right now)

Carbonetics Triple Carbon (not sure on price or the quality of theses clutches)

Carbonetics Twin Carbon

Tilton Twin Cerametalic (not sure if it will handle the abuse)

Tilton Carbon (EXPENSIVE!!!!)

Please leave a description on why you choose which clutch! I need a clutch that will handle the abuse of High HP, Racing, DD, and last! I dont want to change a clutch again in 6 months because its not strong enough!

i have an exedy triple plate cerametalic clutch i just took out of a buschur built car. it actually had the twin plate in it orginally from buschur, but last fall i put a triple plate rebuild in it for him. the car made 550whp on buschurs dyno i believe (low 11's high 10's in the 1/4). the clutch just came out of the car today. it has about 1-2k miles onthe rebuild kit.

let me know if you interested, asking 1300 for it.

Look up the Cusco carbon/carbon. Not sure how much power it'll actually hold, but I believe its rated for over 600. I drove an Evo that was making over 400ft/lbs and it was just as smooth as the ACT HDSS clutch if not better.

Thanks, I currently have a twin that I am going to have Dan put the rebuild for a triple in if I go that route, I am kind of leaning torwards a Tilton Cabon if it will hold up for Daily. I know that the Exedy Carbon suck as far as a DD, but Im unsure of the Tiltons Daily capabilities.
