Default need a clutch for more power

whats up I'm looking for a clutch upgrade and am not sure what to get. I have an em1 making 400whp but hoping to be making 500whp soon. Any suggestions on a clutch to get.

I have an LS I got a xtd stage 3 clutch and 10.2 pound flywheel for. And it's perfect. Do problems with it. Stage 3 hold up to 320 HP so for you I would say a stage 4 or 5 would be good!

clutches are rated by torque not hp, HP means nothing in this situation

I heard the clutchmaster fx 400 is good. im not sure what the torque rating on those are

I use a exedy stage 2 rated at 290 torque, dynoed at 300 torque no problems yet

I have extedy stage 2 now making 400whp and it's starting to slip. That's why I'm considering switching before my next tune. Thinking about going ACT heavy duty

I am partial to Competition Clutches or Clutchmasters. ACT will hold huge power but the pedal pressure can be way too high. My overall best experience is Competition Clutch though, used them on several cars and had friends using them as well, with one guy making 290whp and 330 torque he daily drove on a Competion Stage 4 clutch.
