Default Looking for clutch ideas

Like the topic says, i'm looking for ideas for clutches for my b18a1. I've been doing a little hunting around and everything i've found seems to be through the roof. I'm looking for something that will hold up to the 300hp mark or around there so i won't have to upgrade for a while. I need something that's kinda streetable but can handle some power that the LS with a T3 will throw at it. I was also thinking about a lightened flywheel, but after driving my friend's LS hatchback with a 8 pound flywheel i don't think it would be a good idea especially for just cruising around town. My only downfall in searching around is i don't have a ton of money to spend, and everything i seem to find is kinda out of my reach money wise. Also does anyone know what the stock flywheel rating usually is?

What do you mean stock flywheel rating? It weighs about 17 lbs if thats what you were asking.

Usually has around 1400 lbs clamping force, right around 175 ft lb tq. It can hold more, but not efficiently or consistently.

LSD motorsports, enough said. Got a clutch specialties unsprung in my integra, and it holds power just fine. The quality to price ratio is better than anything else you will find.

LSD Motorsports is the only way to go with a Clutch Specialties clutch. Mike is a friendly guy and he'll help you find a clutch to match your needs.

Do it.
