Clutch Advice Required

first of all i used the search, and did not come up with much of what i am looking for.

here we go, basically i am going to be switching from the stock clutch soon and looking at two main options (feel free to add more):
  1. ACT
  2. Competition Clutch

my car made 320 whp with matching TQ, i plan to reach a maximum of 400 whp later on and stop there. i need a clutch capable of handling these requirements daily. i DD my car about 300km a week and i love the feel of the stocker.

the clutch i choose should be able to handling launching as well with the 2 step.

please let me know your personal reviews on the two brands of clutches or any other clutches you think i should consider with respect to noise (clutch chatter) and drivability. also which stage you would choose for my application.

Thanks in advance!

I think it depends on how much you will actually be launching the car. Its not too hard to clamp and hold the power, its the 6k clutch dumps that really kills them. A twin disc is obviously the best chice but that's hella expensive. Sorry i didn't help too much, free bump.

any advice is appreciated.

twin disk is way too much for my mods and my purpose of the car.

i would be launching the car maybe twice on a weekend or thereabouts.

so far i have launched the stock clutch twice and no signs of slipping....
