Default 98 civic with B18c - DUAL FRICTION CLUTCH

I'm about to do a turbo set up on my B18C and am purchasing a clutch/flywheel combo.
I have had a 6 puck clutch in the past and did not like the aggressive engagement.
I am told a dual friction clutch is the way to go, as it is a very smooth engagement.
My question is, how much power would it hold? I understand there are different stages, but hypothetically, what's the max power I can expect it to hold from a kit not not breaking the bank?
I am shooting for 350hp to the wheels

Clutches are rated on maximum torque values.

Find out how much torque you're shooting for and then pick an appropriately rated clutch to handle the torque. Obviously going higher than what you are shooting for, in case you make more power than you thought or decide to turn up the boost.

Dual friction is just a term used by Centerforce... and it basically describes using two different materials on the clutch disc face instead of one like most clutch manufacturers do. This doesn't alter the engagement... that is typically more related to the disc type (sprung hub or solid hub) combined with the rate/weight of the pressure plate.
