Yea its been covered, but you might want to try DXD southbend clutches.

I have a 300zx NA stage 2 on my rb20 and its an awesome clutch. Its a full face kevlar disk and upgraded pressureplate. Good for over 390 fl-tbs of torque and its very nice to drive on the street, since its a full face. And because of the kevlar it bits hard on the clutch kicks and according to Southbend it will last 3x as long as a OEM clutch in the same conditions.

They have very nice clutches and they are all I'll be using from now on.

I am personally using a ACT 6 puck un-sprung clutch and jgy flywheel, I LOVE my setup, but I have also heard good stuff from RPS. I am pretty sure Joe can explain more, cause I think he has used them.

If you have the cash, go with orc, osgiken, exedy twin plates. For the budget minded I highly recommend ACT. I absolutely love the pedal feel on them.

The newer SPEC duals are very attractive currently. They had some issues a few years back, but appear to have worked them out.

If you can swing ~1300, I would not hesitate to go with an O.S. Giken twin.

Currently I have an RPS Max that has ~500 mi on it, I'm debating on swapping it for the STR2CD (twin) from Giken.

How man Nm or lb-ft are you looking at producing? What is your budget?

Joe pretty much nailed it also.

I am in love with my Competition Clutch. I know plenty of people here in Atlanta that use there various clutch setups, without any problems, some being mild setups, some being fully build 500-700whp cars. No problems at all. And a good price.
