Clutch options in my 8

I am looking at new clutchs so I know what to get when mine goes or when I have the extra cash. I dont want to spend a tons of money on a clutch so I was looking at the Clutch Masters FX400. It is a 6puck ceramic sprung clutch and says its capable of 170% holding power over stock. I plan to make around 500whp in the near future. My question is, who is running this clutch at what hp/torque numbers, and is it a good clutch. Or make suggestions on a clutch thats resonably priced and will hold the power I am looking to achieve. Tanks a ton .

My ACT Street Clutch and my Streetlite flywheel are being installed on my Evo right now since I completely destroyed my stock clutch.

I am staying away from act because of all the issues I hear and have experienced on other cars.

Good decision. Now save up for a Exedy Twin HD instead. I'm glad I did and no regrets about it. (so far)

It seems the Exedy Stage 2 four puck has an excellent reputation and holds big power.

BUMP!!!! done alot more research and leaning tward the fidanza 4.3. Future plans include a HTA35R set up so I want to make about 500+ in the near furture. This clutch seems like it should hold the power well. Just want to know if a lightend flywheel would work good with a ceramic clutch or not. Thanks in advance for anyone who has any suggestions

Good pick, I had the 4.3 in my IX along with the Fidanza flywheel, it was definitely a good set up, you can use any clutch disc material on them. Caleb at CBRD Speedfactory just put in this same set up in his Evo you should give him a shout for some fresh feedback.
