What clutches do you guys run at 600whp+

Hi everybody, I see that lately a lot of RX7s are going with GT42Rs. And I was wondering what clutches do you guys use to hold all that power.
I personally rather buy an ATS triple carbon, but the price tag of 2600 is kinda steep for me right now...
any suggestions for a full bridgeported 13B RE cosmo with a GT42 or GT47?

From what i hear the ACT standard pressure plate is good for 400ft/lbs of torque and the extreme pressure plate is good for another hundred. It looks like the extreme is holding more than that so those numbers may be conservative.

I just got the standard pressure plate and disk since 400ft/lbs is a little bit more torque than im expecting.
