Default Best clutch for my setup

Its time to buy a new clutch!
forged 383 stroker
stock ported heads bottemed out w/a cam machined speacily for my heads
long tube headers
ported stock intake
and plans for 125 shot by next season

it will be driven daily and it will see the track maybe 3 times a year with drag radials and some 6k launches

question is what will be the best clutch setup for me? i am going to run stock flywheel. i have heard that competion clutches, ram, centerforce all have good clutches. so can someone narrow me down to the one i want?!
Thanks

What is your rear end/driveshaft/rear suspension setup? What drag radials do you have?

12 bolt isnt enough for an M6 with sticky tires, you need a 9" or S60. A 12 bolt will be humming like crazy after a few hard launches at the track. Stock driveshaft will twist like a pretzel. Radials are also not good with a hard launch on an M6, the sidewall will not absorb enough of the shock, you need a bias ply like MT ET streets. Moser also has been having problems with twisted splines lately and seems their quality control has gone down a little, look into Strange. I dont know what to tell you, assuming its a quality built 383 with around 400rwhp, and adding a 150 shot, a single disk is going to have a hard time holding. Only cheap option would be a Competition Clutches stage 4.

6k launches,m6 and radial don't go together. Going to need a slick and expect to break some stuff
