twinplate clutch

just wondering if someone could shed some light on which type would be best for around town driving, some spirited driving, not much track use.

twin plate clutch with small surface area
twin plate clutch with large surface area
twin plate clutch with large surface area plus heavier flywheel.

this is the only way i really know how to describe it. as this is how my shop described it to me. just wondering what the differences are. thanks

Unless you are RACING all the time a twin plate clutch is TOTAL OVERKILL. On the street the are very difficult to use - they are like ON/OFF switches w/ NO slip for pulling away from a stop etc. They are intended for Road Racing where you only have to accellerate from a full stop a couple times per race.
You best bet is a good HP Street clutch from ACT, Centerforce, Etc.
