Best clutch for 500whp -420wtq

Price isn’t an issue. What’s the best clutch that can handle those power levels and tq, and is the best for daily driving and doesn’t make chatter/noise.

This is almost exactly what I make, I'm running a Comp Stage 3 Ceramic clutch.

Great drive-ability, no noise. Engagement is good.

No complaints, gets beat on every time it's out.

If you are on stock block then I would recommend a ACT ME2-HDSS . Drives excellent and works well. Quiet

If you are going to get into roadcourse days or launch the car alot then an Exedy twin is more suitable. Great clutch and is pretty much quiet.

The comp stage 3 isn't that great. I had one and wasn't happy with it.

I second the ACT HDSS for a street car, or the Exedy twin if the car does track days or sees more launches.

There has to be at least 200 threads with this very same question at this point.

I almost think they changed the clutch at some point, I've read that as well.

We have 3 cars with one though, and they are all great.

I ran the ACT, Exedy Twin, and now an Exedy Triple. The twin would work great for you and is very easy to drive. Held everything I threw at it for something like 30-40k miles, and I only upgraded to the triple because my trans was out for a rebuild. The ACT had high RPM lockout issues (which I believe has been fixed years ago, but don't quote me on that) but other than that was solid for a good 40-50k miles, TONS of launches (I'm talking well over 150, probably closer to 200) and two seasons of auto-x. Both of those clutches were ran between 450-498whp and ~380wtq pretty much their entire lives.
