Default Best Clutch w/ turbo uprade

I was wondering what some opinions are one the best clutch to get with an f-max turbo kit upgrade. I don't plan on making much power passed 350 to the wheels when I'm done with the motor work. I need something that will hold that power and torque, but I don't want a straight race clutch. I'm looking for street use with a good amount of performance, won't slip, and definitely doesn't chatter. I was thinking maybe the ACT heavy duty pressure plate w/ modified street disc. What do you think? Also, what should I do about the flywheel...resurface or buy a new one? Thanks in advance experts.

I'd start with a Dave-H turbo kit over f-max.

RPS clutch may not be too bad...

Thumbs up

I think this is an excellent question. I've been reading on these forums as well as supraforums, but now I'm even more confused . I don't plan to have more than 450rwhp MAX (stage 2 = ~1yr from now) when I'm done with my car and initially (stage 1), I'll have a maximum of 300rwhp...but I don't want a chattery clutch and I want the best for my $ so..any suggestions? Btw, I don't like those difficult-to-press clutches when driving, they get tiresome...options?

Hey 96, what do you think you're making at the wheels? How many miles on the stock clutch? How many under boost?

i am assuming somewhere around 260-280, i just installed the turbo last week and put about 200 miles on it, the clutch was replaced 26,000 miles ago with a cheap as 99$ clutch,.
