The exedy twin plate is a great clutch. And you dont have to convert to push type. They are kinda spendy though. They handle something like 600hp so its a nice clutch.

IMO, if you have a 500+ rwhp street car you should use a twin plate clutch. If the car is strictly drag racing, look at a puck clutch.
