Go with something simple like an ACT Street/Strip clutch.

well im getting the competition stage 4 for around 300 and the same goes with the stage 2. I have a few buddies with competition and i really like the feel of it. But im real confused about which stage to get. The act clutch is going for around the same price.

Exedy stage 1!!!! engages smooth almost as smooth as OEM and pedal feel is firm so you know its there but not unbearable.. also when you shift hard it grabs like a son of a bitch, i can chirp third no problem with pretty much exact same setup as you minus the header

Stiffer pressure plates, more aggressive materials and lighter flywheels lead to a shorter life clutch. I bought a D15B with a stage 3 clutch bolted on it, with 10-15k miles, and it was already fried. I'd only get as "high performance" of a clutch as necessary.

buy a stage 1 street/strip clutch, unless your planning on making a move to make a lot more hp very soon your wasting your time and money on some crazy stage 4 clutch...

Only if you plan on staying with a low power/torque NA engine. once you start boosting, forget it , its not going to hold, thats why I recommend ACT. that thing held very well with my old 12 sec Hb. I had a stage 3 clutchmaster and it was slipping like crazy with my original high 13sec. set up...
