If you don't have the patience for a breakin period and like harsh engagement, go with a puck/brass button disk. Otherwise, a stage 2-3 organic disc with a heavier pp. Plan on replacing the the clutch master and slave cylinders during, or soon after install.

Puck clutches are great, full on grip all the time, but you can't slip them, so loading a trailer etc becomes more difficult, which I why I asked.

I ran my State Championship winning 13B BP with a bonded clutch and had no issues for 5 years of competition in Hillclimbing, autocrossing and HPDE with about 250 flywheel HP. I could also slip it to load the car onto a trailer or drive onto ramps.

What do you mean you can't slip a button clutch? Have you driven one?

I have a ACT Stage 2 on my street/strip machine, and I love it! You can still slip it, but when you need it to, it grabs HARD!
