Best Single Disc Clutch?

With money being the major factor, I probably can't afford a twin disc clutch. So what is the best Single Disc clutch for 350-400HP daily driver that does occational launches (Drag Racing)?
Anybody that has had one for a while that has abused them, your feedback is welcome.

How bad do you need a clutch? If unless absolutley necissary i would save for the twin disk... just my .02

Edit: unless you really dont plan on modding heavy then i guess a single plate would be cool... im not to familiar with them so i cant help much in one vs the other

go with a twin disk...

I have the exedy stage 2.. its a single 4 puck design and it took awhile to get used to but it seems to be a very strong clutch.

I'm running RRE's no name clutch with a Fidanza flywheel. It's a 3,000 lb. clutch. I like the combination and it doesn't chatter like some other setups. Peddle is a little firm, but it doesn't bother me. It can handle 400 - 450 hp.

Is that the six puck sping hub disk? It was good with the stock pressure plate. Thiunk its bestter to just get the whole thing done. That way you can keep upgrading without any problems. AWD is not easy on that clutch.

I've decided to get a Cusco Twin and not feed my kids for the month. They understand and plan on begging at the street corner for food.
I told them how important it was to get a good clutch. They like riding in my car so they will ruff it for me.
My wife will also turn tricks to get my required mods.
I love my family, but I love my car more!!!
Just kidding.
I sold a kidney to get the clutch
