Which clutch should i buy for my BRidgeport 12a?

I need to buy my clutch so i can drop my 12a in. I am going to drive it on the street and i dont want to have a four puck race clutch. My motor is going to put out about 220 or more to the wheels. My friend dynoed the motor at 240 at the wheels when he ran it. what clutch should i get so it can be somewhat comfortable. I was thinking ACT but, the girl i talked to there said she would recommend a street/strip pressure plate with a stock disc. Yeah right! Another guy down here in san diego at southland clutch says for me to run a twin friction disc with a stock pressure plate. What! someone help me... thanks. I will probably go with racing beat but I really want to see if i can get away with a street strip disc and not the race. Anybody have any recommedations?

Brass button clutch plate with sprung centre and street/strip pressure plate is the only way to go IMHO. It won't slip and is perfectly streetable with the sprung centre.

Haven't seen the RB one personally. But yeah, puck and button are the same thing.

I run a brass 4 button clutch plate with the sprung centre and it's great for street use.
