Shouldn't be much harder than stock but should "last longer"

Any suggestions?!

Are you seeing failure now? What are you trying to fix? I suspect most clutch failures come from dumping the clutch, ala Solo 2 launches...

ATS carbon clutch. lasts long, but you also have to pay for it in your wallet.

Nofailure yet but I have to replace it soon.

Let's say "best replacement" value/performance !?

The stock clutch is more than sufficient for track use, even with a supercharger. Did I also mention that the stock clutch lasted longer than the engine?

Maybe but for the approx same price you may get a better one !?

When the time arises I think I'm going for this one (stage 2): http://www.specclutch.com/specMain.html

And as always I am accepting any other suggestions or feedback from someone with experience. TIA!!

Better? What about the stock clutch needs improvement? The clutch will likely outlast the car unless you operate a manual transmission with the aptitude of a twelve-year old caffine junky.

The clutch is a wear item. The fact you apparently blew your motor before the clutch happened to go out says more about your driving than any little comment you can make about how someone operates a transmission.

Actually, I blew the engine not the transmission silly. Besides, the only people that will take offense to that statement are the ones who should be paying attention.

You are missing the point entirely. Sure the clutch is a wear item, but its not going to wear out faster just because you are driving in a track environment. The clutch should last more than a 100,000 miles easily and there is a very small chance that your engine will last that long if you are tracking it regularly. If the part works at a 100% and lasts longer than the car... why in the world would you need to replace it? How many of this forums regulars have actually had a clutch wear out BEFORE their engine did? About zero.
