Default Clutch Options for SC?

Can anyone give me some suggestions on a clutch for a SC setup?
I don't want anything too "clunky," just something that feels close to stock, and is very streetable for daily use.
But at the same time will take the extra beating from the added pressures of a SC and a comptech built diff.
Oh, and last a pretty long time.

My driving style: spirited driving, never dump the clutch, and plan on tracking 2-3 times per year max. Mostly highway runs.

IE: No 3-puck race clutches please!

Just get the Hardtop Guy's package. The ACT pressure plate, Comptech flywheel and factory disk. I've been running it for 5 years with lots of power and no problems.

Slightly firmer than stock. It engages just like the stock unit so no needed from a stop.

ACT, like mentioned above, would be the closest thing to stock as possible in regards to feel, but no clutch is going to last forever.. That's more on how you drive and how far you decide to go power wise. If you don't dump, and don't feather too much, you would be fine.

any full disc clutch should feel close to stock.

I wouldn't recomend a heavier pressure plate like ACT's setup, although the ACT's "street" setup isn't bad, it is still increasing the pressure load on the crank shaft.

I say Competition Clutch setups are the best setups.

I agree.
Been running same exact setup for over 3 years.

HTG setup here and love it. I don't have huge power, but it feels VERY close to stock as far as pedal firmness, but you can feel it catch so much better. No slippage.
