What kind of mods do you have? That is a pretty agressive clutch.

A clutch that strong is going to be really "Grabby" on the street and is huge overkill if you don't have any sort of power adder. In fact, if you've already burned up two normal clutches without forced induction, then I would look to your driving style. The clutches should last a heck of a lot longer than that (unless you're driving an insane number of miles)

Anynway, if you are planning on big power in the future then a clutch like that wouldn't be a bad idea, though I would suggest a Spec Stage 3+ instead. They hold up to 900 ft-lb of torque and are much more street-friendly than the higher stage Fidanzas.

By the way, if you are getting SC don't bother with the agressive cams. Stage 3s will run HORRIBLY with a supercharger. The overlap period is too long, and your intake charge will get blown out the exhaust port. The best cam for forced induction is stock.
