Too much clutch??

i blew my stock clutch the other day and am looking at new clutches...

the car is currently BONE STOCK. i do have a few parts i haven't put in yet. boost controller, hks catback exhaust, downpipe, 02 housing etcc etcc..

more importantly i've been looking at Spec Stage 3+ clutch. i want something that will grab real hard and throw me in my seat, i dont eeven mind how much of a pain it is to daily drive

my question is since the car is stock would a Spec stage 3+ clutch be like.. TOO much clutch for the car? should i go with a stage 1? or 2+ they're all relativly the same price i figure might as well get the stronger one if im gunna be spending so much money and soon will be making a few more extra horspower hopefully 300+ and deffinatly plan on breaking 400 in the near future

IMO you should get a clutch that will give your car room to grow. You don't want your clutch's rated limit reached or maxed out. You should plan ahead of time. Do you have a budget for the clutch?

thats exactly what i was thinking with the stage 3+ since its got a pretty damn high torque rating, nothing i'll be exceeding for a while. but i'll have a lot of room to play..
