Default Best Clutch/Axles for a boosted LS engine?

Hey guys,

I am in the market for a new clutch, my current one is slipping like crazy. I basically wanted to know what is the best clutch to get for a turbo 98 LS b18b1 non vtec engine @ around 400 WHP if money wasn't an issue? Also what is the best clutch as far as getting the best bang for its buck for the same application?

Same questions for axles.

I just want them for street driving with weekend racing. thanks!

Yeah I have heard that before, seems like one should spend cash for a good clutch but not the axles - they can take alot of abuse appearently.

So I been looking at the Clutch Masters Stage 3 FX300 kit, sounds pretty good but they say it supports 110% over stock, I think I am at around 150% over stock would it still matter?

Also what friction material is better? Kevlar? Ceramic? ORganic? Cerametallic?...then there are full body material, segmented material etc...I am pretty confused lol I just basically need a clutch for a daily driver but that can take some beating when I race here and there.

100% truth. I'm at 450-460whp on OEM axles. Been that way for about 3 years now and about 40k miles. Before that I was at 380whp for 3 years.

Do you have any problems with vibrations at all? I am thinking of getting rebuilt axles...what do you think of this one?

I do not have any vibration issues. It rides/pulls smoothly. Well I do have vibrations right now but that's because I need new rotors

I have heard the rebuilt ones last as well, but I have never run them personally. But with a lifetime warranty from autozone just take them back and play dumb lol.
