Default need clutch advice

Can I get some feedback from those who have replaced their clutches. Dropping a new engine in soon and trying to decide between spec and centerforce. I want to be able to handle 600hp at the flywheel in the future, but want something decent for the street where majority of driving will take place. I'm thinking cf dual friction but would appreciate hearing it from someone who has been there before.

centerforce dual friction is a badass clutch and is not to hard on the trans. Spec makes an awesome clutch, i run a stg1 and so does my buddy and he makes 500whp. a spec stg2.5 shud handle wht yur lookin for also. american muscle has good deals on spec and centerforce too i think.

Yeah i debated on witch one to get as well for quite some time.

I feel like the spec 3 is a lil more on the track side, but i still enjoy it.
