Default Best Clutch

Time to replace the clutch and I'm looking for a high performance clutch that can take it. I've got about 434hp. What's the best clutch out there for the money? I think I'm looking for a stage one or two. Any feedback is awesome. Links and photos are must! Any info is great! Thanks!

Right now the aussie clutch seems to be the best value with the greatest success...believe it's called a Textraila. Right now I seem to be having some tuning issues.....possible signs of serious wear on my LUK clutch that ECS will be looking into for me this week.

The RPS clutch is getting good reviews from people under 500RWHP. I just installed one in my car and it feels great....

Links? Where's the best place to look? What's a good price? Anyone installed a lightweight flywheel to go with it?
