CA Should I go with a Stage 1 Clutch kit?

So here is my question,

Im planning on doing a bunch of upgrades to my 88 TII in the next year or so, and I am wondering if I should purchase a Exedy stage 1 clutch kit and lightened flywheel, or if it is not really neccessary. So here are the planned modifications:

-Mild street port.
-RC injectors (looking at about 750cc).
-High flow cat/mufflers(havent decided on brand yet).
-I'm thinking going with a hybrid turbo, but im unsure at this point.

But yeah, thats it for now.
Any suggestions on different parts or mods would be appreciated. But keep in mind im trying to keep my engine bay looking as stock as humanly possible.(its a 10th AE and I feel there are few enough that aren't turned into POS track beaters)

Thanks.

Sure.

I have a somewhat similar set-up. I have the ACT Prolite flywheel and ACT HD pressure plate and street disc.

You may want to figure out how you're going to control those injectors, along with feeding them. (ECU modification or aftermarket EMS and bigger fuel pump.)

Yeah I forgot to add that I was looking at picking up a PowerFC ECU...
Also, what type of fuel pump would you recommend?

I use a Walbro 255 LPH... I've personally had no issues with it. Others have. Plus, there are fakes being sold.

Lots of people run FD fuel pumps or even Supra TT fuel pumps.

And since we're on the subject of fuel... Get an aftermarket adjustable fuel pressure regulator.

Alright, Any other recommendations? (This is the first time I've gone this far with modding a RX, most of my experience is with suspension and what-not.)
