Default Clutch hoopla

OK guys im tired of debating the clutch issue for myself. I need some other opinions. Im look at 450 to 500 hp in the near future, i only put around 6,000 miles on the car a year. Mostly city and highway driving. And maybe only 4 or 5 trips to the strip a year. O and I play a little on (cough cough) street. Who has the best bang for the buck and as far a performance and also steel or aluminum fly?

Luk staged II will get the job done and it feels like stock. The Exceedy's a more expensive, very stiff but are rate for more hp. Drop this post over in the Tech section that is where the gear heads hang out and they can give you the tech reasons of what is what and why

I agree, have the LUC Gold in the '04 - what a great clutch. RWHP is 435 in that Vert.
