Whats the right clutch for me?

Ok well to start off this is my first evo. Wheni bought this car 5 months ago this is what i done to it.

Tune and on 24 to 26 lbs of boost, 255 fuel pump, lower intercooler pipe and a thicker front mount 3 1/2, lower springs, Greddy type s bov recur, turbo back exhaust, shep built tranny with ACT clutch but dont know what type, and a filter.

So here is the thing my tranny grinds 2nd and 3rd sometimes and i was told the act is a heavy clutch for shep tranny. Now i dont have a lot of money and is wanting to have about 400 to 450 hp in my car but mostly 400 and 400 ft pounds. So what is a good clutch for me? I dont want to spend 1600 for twin disk. So any advice?

NO buy a used exedy twin HD then do a rebuild and new pressure plate and you will be good that is the best route to go sometimes you just cant go cheap I just did it for my build 1010 total. paid 380 shipped for the clutch the rest was in parts

Im looking for one also. As i am stock and only plan on doing minor mods (exhaust, intake) what would be a good clutch? Im just stuck between the ACT (http://www.maperformance.com/act-hd-clutch-kit-evo.html) and the Fidanza 2.1 Carbon / Kevlar Clutch Kit (http://www.maperformance.com/fidanza...h-kit-evo.html)

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
ACT 6 puck sprung with the HD pressure plate is one of my favorites to drive. Very streetable too. Exedy HD is over rated and over priced.

I got 70k out of my ACT solid disc with over 400 launches and dozens of racing events.
