Default Best clutch for a DD?

My car is a 98' M6 with 130,000 miles, and i drive it daily but race at the track alot. I don't know which clutch to get, my car is pretty much stock maybe around ~350hp I'm not exactly sure but I'd appreciate any advise on which clutch would be best for my car.

Thanks

LS7 / LS2 combination. They will hold up just fine to your power level and much, much more.

Give me a call if you want a good deal on one installed. We're in your backyard!

another vote here for the LS7/LS2, feels like stock but holds so much better.

LS7 set-up should work great for you. I drove mine to the track, made 5 passes, and drove home. No problems. That was 2 days after getting it tuned from my Turbo install. Have over 4,000 miles on the turbo kit now with no issues. I DD it every day until the salt hits the roads.

What about those Centerforce clutch kits? I have one of the dual friction Centerforces and it's held up well so far...
