~350rwhp, clutch options?
Hi, guys. Got a question.
Let's say I'll have ~350rwhp (and I will).
What would the best clutch/pressure plate combo be? I hadn't thought of it until earlier today, because there's a clutch on the engine with only ~3,000 miles on it. It's a 'performance clutch' from a local place (Star Spec Clutches near B'ham), but I don't know how much power it's going to like to handle.
Thoughts? Opinions?

Racing Beat Strip/Street Pressure Plate. 275 USD

I would personally use the clutch that is already on the car until it dies. If and when it dies upgrade to the above.

I would [use the one on it], but I am worried about tuning the car on a dyno with a slipping clutch. There are threads covering the problems with this (SaabGuy's thread in the Microtech forum pops to mind)
This clutch is new, though. Would you think it would slip from ~2k on the way to 8k rpm in fourth?
