Default clutch for 600rwhp

my spec 3 is slipping with 370rwhp, and really bad when i hit the nitrous(only 75shot right now mind you). it only has like 5k miles and a few track passes on street tires 2.3 60fts. whats the most inexpensive clutch that can reliably handle the power? textrilia? can i reuse my spec billet flywheel and just have it surfaced?

textrallia clutch is awsome man. Grabs like theres no tommarow and is as smooth as the stock clutch. The pedal may even be a little lighter than the stock clutch once its broke in good.

Jeff..look into a RAM Powergrip HD. I just purchased and installed on in my 99 bolt on nitrous motor. Its supposly rated to 680hp. Good pedal, good release, im in the process of just putting some miles on it.
