What Clutch to Get If I Need One

Wells guys, I'm pretty sure im going to need a clutch pretty soon. I figured id do it before i run my 50wet shot. I have never looked into clutches before. which one will hold up the power i will be pushing well and has good comfortability when daily driving? i dont want to kill my car at a stop light. haha and also, with yalls opinions, do you think i should upgrade axles? you think ill snap mine with drag radials? my traction mods are just the solid motor mount from turbo tech racing and the tranny poly inserts, and my cars lowered. what you guys think?

i havent read enough reviews on the dfx to make a comment, but the exedy hyper single seems to be the best out there. the spec 3+ would be my next choice for what your doing. id upgrade the axles, people have been known to break em on street tires at the track, they are notoriously weak.

hmm...i was thinking the centerforce. they seem to be well made and good priced considering they come with a flywheel from what i read. (i only am going to purchase through turbotechracing most likely) and a buddy of mine has the exedy clutch, and man is that thing a bitch to drive. its so stiff. and ima need something to hold a decent amount of power. im going to be adding nitrous so probably something that would easily support up to 400whp or more for future reference.

The dfx is a damn good clutch its a race clutch and yeah it chatters but thats its uniqueness. the exedy is nice but if you drive everyday in traffic its not advised to get that one. spec 3+ is a nice clutch too. CED has the best price on the dfx

I had a Exedy hyper single before the Spec stage 3+ with the Spec flywheel and the Spec wins hands down no questions asked.

i was looking at this one because from my knowledge it comes with a flywheel? to where an exedy you have to buy the flywheel seperatly..?? you can tell i have no clue on clutches....dont i need to buy a flywheel with a clutch? exedy's you ahve to buy seperatly correct?

i was thinking about SPEC clutches too, they seem pretty well priced. i noticed on gravana's website that the stage 2 spec clutch only hold 265lb/ft torque...and im going to be running nitrous so does this mean i should look into the stage 3 clutch? im sure the drivability on that thing sucks. and what flywheel? and i should probably go with a SAC one before a non SAC right?
