Default a good flywheel/clutch combination

I am tired of my clutch chatter and since the upgrades are coming along i figure it is time for a new flywheel and clutch.
engine/transmission is D16A6, i have the ACT Prolite flywheel with stock clutch and Exedy Hyper pressure plate. before the OE clutch i used the Exedy HD clutch. the latter combination was incredibly difficult to drive and the former iteration was an attempt to make the car more drivable. i still get chatter when starting the car in first gear.
what are some of the more civil flywheels and clutches i can use with a force inducted engine at around 350hp with no drivability compromise that can actually support the power?

Sounds like you have a D series with 350hp?
When you step up in power you have to move up in the clutch to support that power gain.
Dont expect an off the shelf solution to stop the chatter or noise.
You have to sacrifice one evil for another.

Most guys like a stock heavy flywheel for boost Ash. Match that with some kind of a full faced organic clutch sprung clutch that will hold the power you're making.
