It depends on how much clutch you can tollerate. If you get a solid disc (unsprung puck style) They don't slip very well and usually have harsh engagement. I have used hyper clutch and action clutch both 6puck metalic on my daily driven street car. The action is easier to modulate. These are the only clutches I have used so I can't give an opinion on any others. The biggest part is how much power you plan on making.

I am using a Clutchmaster full-face clutch in my Prelude and it holds great and engages a little harsher than stock but still fine..

Im going to use an Exedy sprung 3 puck in my crx.. I have drove a civic hb with one of these in it.. They are kinda sorta harsh engagement so its kinda a street/strip clutch.. It holds everything my friend has put to it so far..

I prefer OEM for almost all B series. With heavy boost, our shop recommends going with Ceneterforce Dual Friction. We found the Centerforce good enough for our 21 PSI B16 Civic Turbo, and several Vortec cars. Any more clutch than that, you should stop going to the drags, learn to drive and hit the REAL racetrack.

I did have a stage3 CM for about 500 but the car blew up and I ended up getting the action clutch when I put everything back together. The sprung disc was good for what I was doing. Now the cm is just sitting around collecting dust. What a waste.
