Default will a LS6 clutch be enough?

I'm doing a clutch in my friend's car, it's a '92 RX7 with a head/cam LS1 making around 430rwhp. He road races the car so we're getting him a light flywheel as well (probably fidanza) and I was wondering if a LS6 clutch would hold for him or if I should track him down something better? If something better is needed, then what? There won't be any drag launches but it will see high rpm shifts on a very regular basis. Thanks for any help.

Personally, I would use more clutch. If $ is an issue, then a Spec 3+ (not a Sec 3) is a good choice. Make sure that you have the pressure plate & flywheel assembly balanced.
This is a must for what he is doing.

Dont you have to use a GM flywheel if you are using a GM Clutch? I am making about the same power and I am using the LS7 clutch with the LS2 fly but its just an occational racer. For that car I whould go with Spec if you dont mind a rough ride and a hard pedal. The spec will deffinatly hold the power and blow your rear end .
