Default clutch recomendations

I am looking for a good clutch that is halfway affordable. My car is going to make around 650 whp and I want something that will hold up for awhile. I thought about going with centerforce but they are pretty expensive. Is there any other manufacturers out there that makes a quality clutch thats going to hold up to a lot of power for a decent price?

Sounds like a very stout build.

These are some of the places I ran across looking for replacement for my, a little more humble, '96. The one that really intrigued me, though out of my budget, was the http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ra...model/corvette.

Keep in mind, and maybe you already know this, that the stock ZF was rated at about 450 fl/lb capacity, I think the black tags were a little more, +/- 500.

Thanks for the fast reply. I do have a black tag in my car now but my old clutch would slip on 3rd gear pulls with the old engine setup. I want to make sure this thing doesnt have to come back apart anytime soon so I think a using a good clutch is a wise decision.
