clutch, which one to get?

I tried a search but coulden't come up with much so here I go...

I plan on having 350-375rwhp with my 83 13b-re/T2 trans set up. I have the 17# flwheel from RB and plan on driving the car mostly on the street (so no 3 puck clutch for me). I was looking at the ACT kit that supposedly holds 330 lb/ft of torque, will it do the job? Which clutch would you get?

oh yeah its a 87-88 T2 trans.

I would get the ACT 6 puck clutch. I have this same clutch even though I didnt use it yet I will be using it mostly for street driving.

Hmm...
Will the 6-puck eat the flywheel? I don't want to reck my new flywheel. Any one have this in there car? I was kind of hoping I could get away with some sort of a non copper puck style clutch. Or is the 6-puck not all that bad?

If you're going with a copper puck clutch disc, the key to not eating the flywheel is NOT to slip the clutch!&nbsp This is why the copper puck disc is not recommended for street - trying to slip the clutch like a normal clutch is going to eat the flywheel.&nbsp You need to really pop the clutch to get it to engage - this makes for a pretty bumpy ride...
