Default What clutch to run with my set up?

Hey guys i am buying a tko 600 in the next couple of weeks, and i know you have to get a different clutch because of the input shaft to the motor. My question is what/who's clutch should i run on my set up. Right now the car is running at 403 horsepower to the rear wheels with 429#of tourqe, and im swapping to a smaller pully after I get my S-Trim back from getting the seals replaced from vortech so im hoping to be pushing around 450. Right now with the stock t-5 i have a centerforce 2 and the pedal pressure isn't too bad, but i really wouldn't want to have any higher of pressure because its my daily driving car to school and back with the weekly session at the strip. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

What are you running now? yeah my centerforce two should be able to handle the power im just looking for another option because im working on putting a 408w in over the winter so i want something that will handle the extra power from that once it is in.
