How much torque? Is this just an n/a motor?

If so a stock clutch will work just fine.

^ They suck.

Get a stock clutch, they hold fine and last a long time.

Exedy or ACT. If you think you need a clutch that is stronger than the original, then see the catalogs for torque ratings of the various clutches and pressure plates.

Puck clutches are prone to making noise as well as accelerated flywheel/pp wear. Just use a quality stock clutch.

honestly i was thinking autozone duralast lifetime warranty clutches for my N/A. I wear it out i go in for warranty swap... its kinda stupid on the company side, but i guess if they are cheap then the traffic they bring in for the swaps makes it worth it.

i used to work there btw... and had only ONE other FC there and that was a guy i bought my first fc from.

life time warranty, burn it up, swap it out!

Depending on your budget, I'd either go with an OEM Exedy clutch... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1983-...item5643f65be0
or an Exedy Stage 1 kit... http://lightningmotorsports.com/i-34416.aspx

For street driving, I'd stay away from metallic puck discs. If you really want a puck disc for the street, try to find a carbon/kevlar sprung disc.
