GMPP should be more than sufficient. However, if you plan on tracking the car or taking it to the strip and even going with more power down the road, give yourself some room to work with.
I ran a SPEC stage 2+ in my SS/SC. Pedal was a little more firm than the stock clutch but not overpoweringly firm and was still fairly comfortable to use in traffic. My old SS/SC put down over 300 on TVS, meth, bolt ons and a few other goodies and I used to track it. The weak point in my car was the axles and I kept it as such. Axles are cheap compared to trannies and clutches.
Little word of advice, if changing the clutch, also replace the flywheel, throw out bearing and clutch master cylinder. If you don't replace everything you may run into issues.

A 4 puck would be an absolutely terrible idea, particularly at your power level. As others have said, a GMPP clutch would be more than enough and it's by far the best bang for your buck. That clutch hold gobs more power than most give it credit for.
Thanks for the info, i dont know which way i wanna take my car, but i know under full boost my clutch is slippin like a bitch, My buddy is trying to talk me into going TVS, i emailed a shop here in Mi about TVS hp numbers vs what i have and they didnt answer me...
I never pullied down on the TVS and with a lot of work was able to get over the 300hp mark with it. But don't be focused on numbers. Hp numbers mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.
But you are you and I am I. Two different people and I can't tell you how to modify your car.
And you think $2300 is expensive for a "minimal" gain? heh.
Not to hijack your thread but I have a 2015 STi Limited on order. And do I ever have plans for that. Just a taste: GT35R Rotated Turbo Kit with supporting mods. When all is said and done I am looking at well into the $10,000 range for gains starting at around 150 awhp. You gotta pay to play buddy.
