Well it's time for a new clutch, this is on my 91 rt tt daily driver. I was planning on getting RPS MAX street clutch but after getting the 60k service done last weekend i'm kind of short on cash. Now I'm planing on getting either the Spec stage I or II, which i found for about 400, or maybe still even the RPS. My question is, since this is on my daily driver... which of thoes clutches would I get the most miles out of with daily diving and of course some races here and there and maybe a track pass or two... or three. incase you're wondering the cars other mods... pretty much BPU.
-MBC (14psi)
-Dn y-pipe
-hks bov
-3' 3sx downpipe
-no cat
-3' atr dual exhaust
-egr blockoffs
-vac reduction
With my mods would I be better off with the stage I organic or II kevlar?
or if you have any advice on other cluches it would greatly help.
Thank you!

hmmm...honestly i'd just go with an OEM clutch. i'm sure that an OEM cluth will hold all the power you're putting down with just 14psi on stock turbos.
it's strange that everyone is always looking to upgrade their clutch and spending a lot of money consequently in doing so. what's wrong with the OEM clutch? correct me if i'm wrong (turbo guys), but at what point (horsepower) does the OEM clutch fail to perform sufficiently? i would think around 400hp. so unless your OEM clutch hasn't been performing the way you'd like, then i would just stick with OEM and save you wallet some pain.
definitely for a daily driver, DON'T go with a 6-puck...that's a given. i know all those people advertise kevlar, titanium, plutonium, uranium 235, and stage 1,234,567...but is it just the 'new thing' that attracts everyone or is there a considerable improvement over OEM but not quite at the 6-puck level that's worth buying, even if you're not putting down over 400hp?
just some food for thought and my :2cents:

well the big clutch i got from southbend is suppose to be able to handle over 475hp
with his bpu's he is near or at the 400hp mark so a slightly stronger clutch would be my advise.
but if money is an issue and your not gonna be on the gas much, then the regular should hold for awhile.

+1 what young said.
If you check out 3si, there are a bunch of comparison/review threads on various clutches. I'd check them out for a little research.
