I'm running a spec stage 4 and it's holding up great. Another one to look into would be the spec stage 3+

the twin disc is rated for more than twice the HP of your goal, why sacrifice the power? yeah it will last longer but who cares? clutches are a wear item and new discs are cheap.
just get an LT4 PP and disc type/material of your choice from some one like carolina clutch.

centerforce is a good clutch, I love mine. but you can put one together for less $$(my cf came w/ car). every single LT1 clutch(besides for the twin disc I believe) uses a valeo pressure plate so the best you can do is an LT4 PP, I would talk to the guys at carolina clutch to see what disc they would recommend for your goals. theres a few different choices out there for disc material and springs and you might as well replace the throw out bearing now too since I'm assuming the car is new to you?
its also a good idea to have your flywheel turned to make sure its level & smooth, or if you have the coin buy a new one, in which case I'd go w/ a billet steel fw which is lighter than stock but not as light as alum so it won't bog off launch.
-hope my 1st post didn't come off like I was throwin some attitude your way, just rhetorical questions
edit:don't forget to check and/or replace your tranny mt while your in ther
double edit: lmfao thers was add for dance dance revolution @ the top of this page hahah wrong target audience?!

no car is not new to me at all. bought it completly stock and torn up. 97z m6 put all poly bushings kyb agx sportlines which kinda suck. put a findanza flywheel in it and a spec 3. 410s welded up the 10bolt lol. drove it daily like that. tracked it alittle. stock motor with a cut out. ran 13.9 like that with 188xxx on it. headgaskets went so i built a 396. le heads le cam pro mags hardend pr longtubes bla bla bla bla. now the spec died i believe due to the clutch fork being worn out on the prongs and possibly bent because stock clutch throw out bearing exploded but the fork looked fine when i put the spec in. so now i got a clutch for and need a clutch. i might have been modest when i said 450rwtq/rwhp
