Default What clutch is better in my now/future case?

within time i will be adding a Built T56 Tranny...4.10 12 bolt...heavy duty drive shaft...and such....with fullll boltons and suspension

in the future i will have this setup and the 455 stroker from MTI that put down 534 rwhp and 542 rwtq....so im planning on running some Mickey T's...or even jsut basic Drag radials on the street and mayb a few passes with slicks at the track and after i get my best time i will be lowering it for autoX purposes

Now i need this clutch to be smoothe effective grab hard and a nice easy push and MUST BE RELIABLE!!

i need it for daily driving in chicago traffic smoothe and easy (lots of stop and go driving w/ a bit of highway) for Strip/Track time...not too much but mayb 3-4 times a year...if that but capable of a HIGH RPM clutch dump (depending on my RPM limiter between 4000-6000 RPMs) and good for AutoX time...mayb 1nce 2wice a year

A spec stage 3 will do you ust fine. If you have a good amount of money to spend get the Exedy clutch. I run a spec stage 4 in my car and it dosent bother me in trafic, even going up hill.

If you are looking for a stock feeling clutch that will hold a lot of power, then the twin is the way to go.
