Stage 1 or 2 clutch

I need a new clutch very soon now and im wondering if i should get a stage 1 or 2 clutch. As of right now i probably have around 300 HP but i plan on increasing that with Headers, UDP etc. I know Stage 2 clutches are for cars with an average of over 400 HP but some day i hope to get a blower. I plan on gettin the blower till after my engine rebuild so it will be a while. I dont want to buy 2 clutches but i dont know what happens when you put a stage 2 clutch on an engine running less HP than required. What do you guys think ?

If your future goals include an engine rebuild and blower than due it right the firs time and go with a McLeod Street Twin.

You will have no problem with the clutch. The only thing being that it is very hard of your stock drivetrain. There is no slippage with this clutch. It is either engaged or disengaged.

I am confused by the Stages. Are you talking about Spec clutches? McLeod Street Twins do not come in stages.
