Default suggestions on clutch/flywheel?

okay, so im currently running my 350z on my stock clutch at around 430rwhp. i know it wont last very long and know i will need something else since i plan to go to the track every now and then. Any suggestions on a streetable not to expensive setup? Open to all suggestions.

Thanks,
Jacques

I have recently been researching this topic. It seems that Southbend is an economical clutch that can hold a fair bit of torque.

It looks like this will be my next combo:

Not sure if ansy of the vendors carry them.

I went with the JWT Heavy Duty Clutch and Aluminum Flywheel when I did my original ST Build @ ~400whp. I was very happy with both... No problems.

Didn't notice any extra noise... I think I paid about $5-600 for the set, but that was four years ago. Good luck!

I'd go with a nice full face disk. Had both jwt and act and both were good, no problems until 500 wtq. 6 puck isn't necessary at that power IMO unless it will have heavy drag use. My next clutch will be southbend.

I've had very good luck with the JWT heavy duty clutch with the stock flywheel. This at 550 rwhp 550 tq. The clutch is very street friendly and holds the power so far

State Capitol raceway occasionally. Always in a different car though, either a 350z, 300zx, or 260z. If you see those it's probably me so stop and say hey!
