Default Clutch advice

Hey guys,

Two years since I blew my motor on the track, the vehicle was finally running and collecting some break-in miles.

I went in for my "final" tune and Friday and my clutch gave up the ghost at 400ft/lb.

Back to the shop we go - this time for a new clutch. I'm soliciting advice from the gurus here about what to get.

My favourite shop carries Exedy and ACT and I'd like to support them, but I really want the best clutch for my needs.

Car will have two boost maps - one around 500rwhp one at whatever the tuner can eke out safely. Target is 575-600rwhp.

Car is driven on the street occasionally in nice weather. When I drive on the street, I do, admittedly, have fun with my toy.

The car is also track a few times a year and there I do want performance and reliability.

I was considering the Exedy triple carbon but am fearful of the drivability.

Any suggestions from guys who have been here? I really just want my car to be DONE for a bit.

Thanks

No one else can offer some opinions on a suitable clutch for a high HP 350?

Buying the OS Giken triple plate. Should arrive in a couple of weeks. We'll see how it goes.

This place is rather quiet these days.

Mainly because most kids buys their 350z for te price of our clutch. Im not that high in hp, inly 400whp, so i cant really offer any help.

However, i would like to know when you have the clutch install and a review on it.
