T56 Clutch suggestion

Just curious what clutches you T-56 guys are using? Will be behind a supercharged 355 (see signature). I'm on the waiting list for the VR4 upgrade so I want something that would comfortably handle approx. 500hp and the abuse of some drag racing & autocrossing.

I've been using the Centerforce Dual Friction clutch in mine since the swap a few years ago. No problems yet. I haven't launched it with slicks but I'd imagine it'll hold. Check out my sig for my motor details.

Found a lot of positive feedback (esp with the LT1 guys on LS1tech & LS1LT1) about the Competition CLutch Stage 2.5. Rated up to 600hp and just under $300! Hard to beat that price!
