Approximately how much power are you making, and how stiff a pedal can you live with?

if you dig enough most clutches have torque rating, so you can kind of know if its going to work or not.
for example my ACT Exxtreme Pizza shooter is rated for 420lbs ft... car is making ~250? 300? so its more clutch than i need, pedal effort is too high too

100% agree with j9fd3s. On my WRX I went from OEM clutch to a South Bend "Stage 2" which was rated for up to around 450 whp. It was essentially perfect, didn't kill the leg and wouldn't slip when I was being dumb doing hard launches. Buy the parts you need for the numbers you have/want. Sure it's nice to say you have a twin plate capable of 800 hp, but with 350 at the wheels it's not being used really.
