New setup needs new clutch

Currently doing a new build and I'm tossing around the idea of moving away from the Exedy's and would like people's opinion and why they would go with a different clutch.

The new build consists of:
Buschur 2.4 LR 11:5:1 CR
3794HTA Twin scroll
Jack's built tranny with mFactory 4.0 gearing
STM650 cams
Magnus V5
FIC 2150's
Buschur ported head
ETS 4' FMIC
AEM v1
E98/E85 fuel

Anyways the clutch is a Exedy twin and I've been thinking about doing the upgrade to their triple via the upgrade kit (not going to buy a new triple). So the next clutch I was thinking of purchasing was the new Quarter Master 8 leg. I will be DD the car occasionally when I want to drive instead of ride my bike. I live in norther VA where the traffic is horrendous and usually take the bike out to go to work. But sometimes it's nice to just cruise in a car.

Not that it matters but I plan on pushing the car hard boost wise to see what numbers can be obtained with this setup so I should see around 850-950 hp.

So give me your opinions: Exedy Triple or the new Quarter Master 8 leg

i think if you had no issues with the twin, why change to something else. FWIW to you, when I had my Exedy twin rebuilt into a triple, it actually got even easier to drive on the street.

After the great number of responses to my thread I've decided to move ahead and go away from Exedy and get the new QM 8-leg w/HRB. Got a early Black Friday deal on it and I'm happy.

Hopefully I didn't make a mistake.

I've heard some pretty good things about the qm street version not being to bad to dd just what I've read though

And can I ask a newb question your build sounds awesome but why such high compression? ( im still trying to learn the Benifits)

I went with the QM and Nate @ MAP hooked me up with a good deal. I went with the Race version as well as the TOB and race flywheel.

The higher compression will spool a turbo a bit faster, be more responsive out of boost and doesn't really sacrifice power just might not run as much boost to make same power numbers. Optimum on higher octane fuels like ethanol/race gas. I run a qm 8 leg and for the price range u can't beat it, not the most friendly clutch for daily driving but handles anything u throw at it.
