Re: what clutch to use
This is not from **** i read on internet, but my own personal experience. I'm currently running a Competition Clutch Stage 5. Couldn't be more happy. Very streetable. Has seen probably 25-30 Passes at the track. And thats with 440hp. Hope this helps...

For the price it is hard to beat the CC Stage 5; however, all the cool kids buy twin discs . I've heard they're more streetable, but again, i haven't ever run one. My CC Stage 4 is very streetable so i would imagine the 5 to be similar. I honestly like my CC 4 better than stock

Ran both stage 4 and stage 5 comp clutches. both will hold that power level but the stage 4 wont hold up to as much track abuse. Currently on an unsprung stage 5 with no complaints or problems. sprung feels no different on the stage 5, just a little less harsh on drivetrain

I dont mean to thread jack the OP, but here it is - I am building a 300-400 hp turbo toy, my shop suggested the CC Ironman 1680 Stage 3 clutch but the ceramic 1620 is significantly less expensive. Does anyone have personal experience with the ironman vs the ceramic? TKS

I've always been an ACT fan, very happy with my XXR6... Extreme Pressure Plate w/ Sprung 6 Puck, and 10lbs Prostreet flywheel...

Go with the CC stage 5, you wont regret it.
I ran one for 2 1/2 years, and it had surprisingly streetable pedal feel for a clutch of that torque/holding capacity, and it more than held its own at the track with the numerous passes I put on it. I had the sprung disc.
Besides, your particular power goal doesn't even require a twin disc application, the stage 5 CC will handle the 350 to 500, no problem.

Re: what clutch to use
thats what has me a bit baffled... the ironman is significantly more expensive than the ceramic stage 4, and as stated, the LAST thing I want to do is get either of these clutches installed in the car and not be pleased with them... I would almost be homicidal I believe!!
