Clutch advice for mildly modded 13b

The exhaust manifold has been taken out and new headers were put on then a straight pipe to a racing muffler. There's also an aftermarket carbureator on, and the engine was bridge ported. The car also comes with a LSD. The clutch is basically dead so we need a new clutch to get it up and running. The car is going to be tracked and not street driven but cost is as always a factor. Off the top of my head I was thinking that a stock turboII clutch would be a good call, it could handle the extra power easily and I'm assuming cheap compared to a performance aftermarket one. So will it fit and is it a good idea or does anyone have a better suggestion.

Either that or a Centerforce dual friction clutch will do just fine.

Well that would be nice but this is a budget setup so we're looking for something upgraded from stock that is cheap. Has anyone here run a turboII clutch on a modded n/a 13b? If so how well did it work and would you use it again?

the clutch for turbo rx7's use diffrent splines so you can't use the disk unless you have a turbo trans also.
I have no idea if the pressure plate it interchangable though.
