whats the best clutch for me?

Hey guy's I'd appreciate your input. I've been out of the loop for some time now and I was wondering if you could give me some advice on new clutch selection, my stock one is toast. I've got an 94 R2 that I only drive on nice days and weekends it's only got 23,000 miles and I like how the stock clutch feels although I wouldn't mind if it were moderately stiffer if need be.
Currently its moddified with the following - M2 ecu, 3" turbo back exhaust, Pfs intercooler and intake, greedy air pump eliminator pulley, main underdrive pulley, Stock twins with hks evc regulating 14-15lbs boost, Cosmo fuel pump, Efini y pipe, eibach lowering springs, m2 trailing arms and links,and c west short shifter.
I don't know what the power output is now but Id like to make sure if I decided to go to a single turbo setup in the future I'd have enough holding power. I really don't drag it or autocross but I do drive it very aggresively on the street and freeways. Please give me your opinion on what clutch setup you'd recomend for my needs. Any input would be greatly appreciated

ACT Street Strip is what I have and it is great. I don't think you would need anything more 'grippy'.

I don't have as many mods as you, but I've been happy with my RPS for the past year since it replaced my stock clutch. If it goes out, I guess I'll have to go with the ACT S/S. For some reason it seems to be the most popular one around, and I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Get a twinplate! It will be all you need for the future mods. Yes it is streetable, just more pedal pressure and a strong left calve!

I have a Centerforce and am happy with it.
ACT seems to be the current most popular.
I would buy the S/S or move up to the Extreme if you are gonna do a few more mods.
RX-7 pedal pressures are so low you wont have a problem regardless.

PM Jason at the RX-7 store and he will help you out.

Thanks for the help guys, It sounds as though the ACT seems to be pretty popular. I had an ACT one on my awd talon but sold it almost immediately after installing it, so I never really got a chance to test it out. Can you guys recommend any places to pick one up for a good price?
