Default Which clutch?

I'm planning on ordering a Spec clutch here in a few weeks, but I'm unsure of what stage I should get.
I'll be pushing around 300-320rwhp when I get my h/c/i installed. Spec claims their stage 1 is good for 410ft/lb of torque, but I see alot of guys with less hp than me using the stage 2. The car is mainly street driven with a visit to the drag strip every other week.

Id go with the 2. Ive got a 1 on a motor with probably 225-250 horses (not sure about torque) and it grabs good and is able to put everything down. Had it for a year now and Im glad we bought it.

I have the spec stage 2 and love it. It grabrs so nice and love the pedal feel.Plus if you upgrade your engine you know your clutch will hold it. Your t-5 will give before the spec. I also got the spec billet steel flywheel and they work great together. I installed them with a new t-5Z and an awesome bad *** f*cking sweet MGW shifter that sh*ts on all others. I am in 5th and the **** is dead center, don't even have to move. It is so strong as well glad i was talked into it
