If you're not "brand" oriented......

Again.....

Any one of the aftermarket clutch manufacturers kits should be able to "hold up" behind 450 horsepower with ease as long as the proper "kit" is chosen to do the job. Most stock/replacement type clutch kits are not meant for a performance/aggressive type driving applications.

If you're looking to "drive it like you stole it" from the time you start the car until the time you put it back in the garage every time you take it out then i would say go with the HD set up as it will take the abuse and then some and would be willing to "give up something" if it was "a little rough" on engagement.

If you're looking to "drive like a human being" and every once in a while "dust off the cob webs"......then i would say the power grip set up would be the way to go. If the "rough engagement" that can/may occur is something that you think you may not like then stick with the power grip set up and call it a day as it should hold up fine behind 450 horsepower.

"Clutch Wear" is a odd subject as you can have 2 guys with the exact same vehicle/set up and one will wear a clutch out in 50,000 miles and the other will have 100,000 plus miles and still be going strong......
