Exedy twin plate or OS Giken twin plate clutch!! Those two are by far the smoothest and best performing clutches I know about. Plus they can EASILY hold that kind of horsepower. I've seen much much higher numbers than that getting put down with no problems what so ever and the guy was using an Exedy twin plate. They do cost, but GOD are they worth it!!!!

well i went with the act extreme. like 450lb and 59% pressure increase. i'm a big guy but i hope it's not too stiff. ohh well, time will tell. twin plates seem cool but it's just too much $ right now.
