which clutch - fidanza or rps?

i have searched the forums and have not found wut i was looking for. i'm trying to decide on which clutch to choose. i'v brought my decisions down to either the fidanza 3.2 or the rps street. anyone have any suggestions between theese two clutch's? i am getting the fidanza flywheel for sure

my current mods are cobb intake, custom exhaust, and hallman boost controller. i am currently at 350hp and 353ft lbs.

future mods are fpred turbo, uicp, intercooler, 750cc injectors and few minor details.

I dunno about the Fidanza but I'd be leary of a clutch manufacturer that made a clutch for a Evo that stated the following :

"WARNING: Do not use these clutches in any situation where engine RPM's may exceed manufacturer's specifications. Pressure plate can explode unexpectedly causing serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and bystanders. Clutch cover and bell housing will not protect against exploding pressure plate."
RPS recommends that whenever the manufacturer's RPM or horsepower specifications are exceeded, the consumer installs a bell housing shield or blanket to help minimize the destructive effects of a clutch or flywheel failure.
Please see full RPS Limited Warranty on Contact page.

That was taken from the RPS site with regards to their clutches . http://www.turboclutch.com/Pages/MAX%20Page-Mitsu.htm

It looks like you have a MR.... Fidanza's clutches are designed for the 5 speed only, no MR , the flywheel works for both though. I have a buddy running a clutchmasters fx300 (segmented kevlar) in his MR with a fidanza fly. No complaints and has seen some track time too.
