Default h22 civic autox/roadrace/drag/street clutch

Can some of you, that quite a bit of experiance doing all this types of events, give me some insight on what clutch set-up will be be reliable for doing these events for the H22 motor. Street driving and autox are the main events I'm focuzed on but I want to be able to launch on slicks at some drag events. Oh and take into consideration cost and all the variables of the driving effects of the clutch. I've been looking into Exedy Cerametallic Thick or a ACT HDPP and street disc. Please give any feedback, good or bad to help me with my decision. Thanks.

Oh I failed to mention. I have an Action 2KS Kevlar clutch right now but it is not streetable at all. Built for High HP drag racing. I AM NOT going to use this clutch anymore. Harnish axle breaking launches at the track, ridiculiously heavy PP, very hard on the tranny, and the petal is just too heavy for accurate gear shifting in handling situations.

I appreciate all responses. Thanks.

I use a Spec clutch stage three sprung hub with lightened flywheel. Nice ease of engagement and the pedal is not heavy. My CRX has a modded B18c about 190ish at the wheels.

Exedy's "Organic Racing Clutch" is pretty nice and not expensive at all. Just beware that it will eventually disintegrate if used with forced induction... mine took a year to come apart on me, ymmv.

I'm fond of the ACT HDSS or XTSS for forced induction. The HDSS is a good street/drag/track clutch with engagement that isn't too different from the Exedy. The XTSS holds even more torque, but is a little harsher and less streetable.

I have had the ACT heavy duty pressure plate combined with their organic street disc in several H-powered cars with various levels of modication, and have loved every bit of it.

The feel of the clutch is perfect, its damn near indistructable, and I will continue to put it in every modified honda I own.

Thanks for the advise everyone. I planned on doing maybe a bit of FI in future (I have everything to turbo) I've been thinking about that but it would be on stock motor or maybe nitrous if decide to go that route. I'd like to try a few different set-ups with it.
