Default Clutch and Flywheel combo setup for Gsr 400hp range

Ive been reading through lots of threads and im down to a Exedy flywheel b/c its steel and i think that is safer then aluminum F1 and others.

As for the clutch im a little torn b/c there are so many i want one that has the oem feel b/c ill never be taking it to the strip and its a daily driver that will never be abused but i don't want any slip in case im hitting 20psi boost and it will be close to 400-450hp i suspect after tune on built gsr motor.

1. Exedy Stage II

2. Clutchmasters FX400

3.stage 3 Comp Clutch

Which do you guys recommend and have had the most success with.

Thanks

Since it's never going to be abused I'm sure a stock clutch will work just fine. I'd classify a high rev launch as abuse. If you're just easing into the throttle and not abusing it stock will work just fine.

What's the point if you aren't gonna drive it hard?

And no the stock clutch won't hold up to that kind of torque.

By the way...do you think this engine is going to produce 400-450hp at idle? I'm pretty sure you'll have to hammer on the gas a bit to create that kind of power, some people might classify that as abuse but it's all opinion.

I want it to have a oem feel for daily driving and if i get on the gas not to slip.
