None. Action Clutch. I've used Exedy, ACT, and Action. Action is by far the best. I'm a little biased though since I've been running it for over 3 years now. 1MD 6-puck unsprung.

Depends on the power you're making. There's a huge difference between a 150 whp NA car and a 250 whp NA car

I'd go with a sprung 6 puck setup, especially if you do some track days...Ive had good luck with ACT, Centerforce, and Clutchmasters

I did NOT vote, and as far as what clutch, it would depend upon what you want for a build. For instance:

140-250whp use Stage2 w/ carbon kevlar, 500 mile break in and smooth as it can be. You'll get great life out of it unless of course you plan on launching at 5K. In which case I'd recommend Stage4 which is a six puck sprung hub clutch. It will be a little grabbier, but nice in traffic and will be able to take all the beating you'd like to throw at it.

My Stage3 is great for a daily driver that just cruises and plays on occasion. 500mile break in and is smooth with longer life than Stage2. Plate load remains the same, but you're good to 350whp all day.

Feel free to ask any more questions.

I'm not sure if you sold on buying an aftermarket clutch, but b19coupe who has built numerous NA motors for his own car and runs a stock ITR clutch. He runs it in all of his setups and said it holds the power fine. He mentioned that they explode around 280whp NA, but your not in that terrority so it wouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't recommend it to but b19coupe is no noodle.
