I've had the ACT clutch for the past 40k miles with 321whp on Buschur's dyno without problems.

ACT would be the inexpensive route but don't expect to shift above 7k.

I'd go with an Exedy Twin for that power level but that might be out of the price range your looking at. If you do venture towards that, get a hydraulic TOB for it. AMS has the complete kit the last I checked.

If you don't plan on ever taking the car to the track and will ONLY be doing street driving you can get away without the hydraulic TOB and that will shave of some money but if you take the car to the track, your TOB clip will pop off everytime you shift the car fast.

I had the same problem with high rpm shifts, but was able to fix it with adjusting my clutch pedal.

I've had the ACT HDSS for over 80k miles and never get the lockout. I don't drag though, just road racing.
