What clutch/flywheel to choose?

As the title says; I need some help choosing a new clutch. I have basic bolt-ons and a 25psi tune, I plan on running E85 in the future so another stock clutch is not an option. I haven't dyno'd but a Cobalt with the exact same mods is at 320whp/340wtq...so with E85 I'd hope to be around 350whp/370wtq...I've looked at Clutchmaster's and SPEC's clutches...I'm looking to go Stage 3 so I can maintain daily drivability and not blow my clutch again...any suggestions on clutch/flywheel combos? I'm trying to stay under $1000 for the combo...

Thanks in advance

Zzp stage 4 and resurface your stock flywheel. Should feel similar to stock but a lot stronger.

Theres tons of threads/posts about clutches, a search may be helpful. The general consensus seems to be the ZZP stage 4 clutch holds great with a stock like pedal feel. The Exedy Hyper Single clutch also holds great, with people reporting a tougher than stock pedal feel. Clutchmasters, Spec, etc. seem to be hit or miss, with some people swearing by them while others report problems.

I have the Clutchmasters stage 4 clutch and have had it for about 1,000 miles, doesnt slip at all. I bought a new OEM flywheel from ZZP and the clutch came with a new TOB, but they sent me a LSJ alignment tool... Luckily the shop I was at had one for the LNF. Would definetely recommend it.
