Firstly, you need to look at the actual torque and hp capacity of the clutch, simply saying "stage X" isn't enough as different companies have different stages. Don't go for some stupidly high rating, unless you plan on dropping thousands into the car you won't get much more than 250 hp or 250 tq. The higher the torque capacity generally the higher the pedal pressure and the more "off and on" the clutch will act.

Stage 2 from RRM and WORKS is fine, they both have a suitable rating.

Plus, too much clutch is a bad thing... Pre-mature wear and stuff.
