Default What clutch should I get?

Alright everyone, everyday I am getting closer and closer to swapping the W58 in my living room into my SC400. I am currently in the process of accumulating all the necessary parts for it and now I am at the clutch and pressure plate. I want to be able to put the power down and have a semi-aggressive feel to it. However it will be a daily driver in Tampa and dont want to have to fight it the whole time. My plans for making serious power wont come for another 2-4 years so Im just looking for something affordable that can be used on the 1UZ. Let me know of any suggestions of both pressure plates and clutches. Thanks in adavance!

I have a Competition Clutch Stage 4 with a 6 puck sprung disc and I love it. Pedal feel has increased but it is very manageable for daily driven. Engage for first gear is a bit harsher since its a six puck disc but it surely does grab pretty good and it is reasonable compared to ACT and such. Its rated for around 450 hp for the W58, so that should be adequate. I got a great deal for mines and got it from Velocity Trends in Jacksonville, FL but Competition Clutch drop shipped it to me. If you are interested I can give you the guy's information.

Just don't buy Spec Clutch because they are garbage and Junk.
ACT , or Competition i think those are the best.

I was thinking about maybe a 6 puck sprung clutch. So ACT is good? Is it affordable?
