Default What clutch / flywheel should I get?

Some of you may know my build progress from my previous posts, but for those of you that don't

I'm currently in the process of building my engine (spun a bearing) and upgrading my turbo components to run 450-500 hp on pump gas for the street (I daily drive it) and 650 - 700 hp on e85 for the track.


So my current question is, what clutch and flywheel should I use? It can't be too inconvenient to drive because I daily drive it, but it has to able to support the power. Should I get something that will support around 500hp since it will be at that tune for 90% of the time? Or do I need to get a kit that will be able to comfortably support 700hp

Quality is important, but I'm not looking to spend my life savings on a clutch so price is important as well.

Any input is appreciated!

Yea I was afraid of that.

So I guess the question now is what is a good inexpensive clutch that is made to support 650-700 hp?

Any thoughts?

I think I may go with a CC stage 5 or a F1 stage 4, and if those don't hold up I may have to switch to a twin disk clutch. Since I'll daily it on the pump tune, I think either the CC or the F1 will be fine but they may get torn up on e85

go twin disc if your gonna daily it. its worth the extra money in the long run. i have not had any experience with twin discs in the s2k but have ran an exedy and hks in my fd and the pressure of the clutch pedal feels like stock.
