Default Clutch Recommendation for All Motor and Nitrous Build

Im definitely going to go all motor and nitrous route, but as one of my first mods towards this build I will be getting a NX wet kit, cams, Hondata s200 and a clutch

I was looking at ACT clutches
specifically a HA3-HDSS
im looking for something very streetable as this is my daily driver and I go back and forth to NY a lot

some specs on that clutch:

Clutch Kit Number: HA3-HDSS
Torque Capacity: 278
Pressure Increase: 41% Over Stock

now onto the questions
Is this good for a daily driver, obviously Im going to have to get a clutch that has a stiffer feel than stock, that just comes with the territory when your making power
but my main concern is will this clutch hold up to this setup:

JE 11.5:1 Pistons
Crower Billet Rods
Golden Eagle Sleeves
Crower Stage 3 Cams
P&P'd head by Portflow
NX Wet Kit 75 shot(street) 100 shot(strip)

my main concern is down the line.....when I yank the motor out and build it completely, I dont want to replace the clutch again
I know this will be fine for just cams, 75 shot of NX, and Hondata

TIA

I'm using the Exedy Cerametallic 3-puck in my build, and I believe I'll be making similar numbers as you.

I was thinking about streetability when I got my Exedy organic clutch. Glazed the hell out of it on a 65 shot. So much for that idea. Lesson learned: Screw drivability and get something that is guaranteed to get the power to the ground. You'll get use to a 6 puck easily enough.

I would go with a Action clutch Kevlar. With a 2500lbs pressure plate. Should be good for an excess of 250lbs of tq. That should be enough to hold.

Hey dude dont start a flame war. Hes just asking for advice stay on topic. Back to the topic at hand... Go with a Action Clutch 2ks. That should hold your up and coming power.

It's still the motor making all the power. All motor hehe. Besides it has to overcome an issue with a chemical leaking into the intake tract.

i just type all motor because its faster than typing Mild N/A + Nitrous build up

as for the Action Clutch 2ks, I need something streetable....is that streetable?? lol
remember....this car is my daily driver and I do go to NY a lot and usually get stuck in traffic

Im really leaning towards the XTSS from ACT
