Default best clutch?

i have been thinking about getting a different clutch. not too sure what to get yet though. the tilton semi street i have now is good but it sounds like i am trying to hit a drag launch everytime i take off, especially if on a hill. the engagement isn't too bad, but this set up would be way more at home on the race track than a street car. maybe i will get more used to it as time passes.
i have been thinking of adding methanol injection to the car also which i would be expecting rwhp of 650+ to be attainable. so need something that will hold with that kind of power.
hoping there is something out there that will work good, engage a bit smoother, and not be $2000+. thanks

The ATS twin carbon with 1350kg (~20%) stiffer than OEM should hold >650rwhp especially when warmed up. It costs just a tad below $2k.
That is the setup I'm installing now (except also with the carbon metal coating). The triple should hold about the same @ OEM-like pressure (1100kg) , except it costs more and is claimed to chatter a little more.
My rig should be back together in about 3 weeks , I can give my personal impression,or you can personally check it out if you wann take a trip down here to the SF bay area.

I would recommend the OS Giken Dual Disc. It can handle over 700+ I believe. SGP has a really good price on them, 1750.
