im only gonna have like 340whp at most. i would call strictly modified and tell them what your plans are and they can match you up with a nice clutch.

The ACT clutches are not even up grades. No ACT clutch is going to solve high RPM lock out. If you do some searching you will see. Get an Exedy Twin.

^^^ this guy i guess thats why in my 20k miles ive had this clutch in when i got wot i shift at 8k, and part of the reason why theres lockout issues is due to engine transmission movement. I took care of mine for the most part, buy installing an ingalls torque dampener...shifts go in smooth everytime, only time i grinded one shift was wasnt paying attention to shifting and payin attention to the hot girl next to me, and let the clutch pedal out sooner then i got it in gear haha...but yea the clutches are good. just learn how to shift.

There are a few threads on this. But really, like everything, it depends on what you want to do with the car.

Get a stage 2 clutch (ACT, Exedy, everyone has a favorite) if you don't care about clutch slip on pulls, high rpm lockout, and don't plan on going any higher in power. These will be similar to stock clutch in daily driveability.

Get a Twin Disk if you do care about the above things. However, it will be more difficult for daily driveability and hill starting will be a bit more annoying. You will also get a little clutch chatter (depends on which clutch you get). They are also a lot more expensive than the stage 2 clutches.

I plan on get the new version of the Competition Twin disk installed when I get my tune and parts put in. It converts the clutch from pull style to push style and is at a price that can not be beat.
