Re: clutch for 400+rwhp
It really depends n what your looking to spend n the new clutch set up. What rearend do you have ? If it's stock I would stay away from the ST because I've known people who have broke rears with only street tires useing them. I would say the Spec or the LT4/LS1 disc set up like was mentioned would be your best bet.

My son had the single disc Mc Leod clutch and he loved it. Me I run the twin disc and I'm just now replacing it after a year and a half of constant racing. Also Mc Leod will rebuild their clutches for around $300. Think about it, a new flywheel clutch plates, pressure plate, and a new adjustable master cylinder, the price is'nt really that high.
Re: clutch for 400+rwhp
I recommend the SPEC stage IV for the price. The hub isn't sprung so you don't have to worry about a spring blowing on you (I blew 2 on 2 stage III discs) and the driveability is just as good as the stage III. Its been holding up to ALOT of abuse the last 2 years. Around 10 - 13,000 miles on it too.
Although having gone through all this it would have been cheaper and smarter to get the Street Twin in the first place! I'am planning on changing this one out to a ST this summer. FWIW my stage III bent my stock driveshaft too, might want to look into a better one. I got a good deal on a LPE 3.5" aluminum one for mine. Sucks when the ds breaks at 110mph breaking your bellhousing, yoke off the rear, and bending my input shaft on the T56. I think I might have to fix that this summer too
