What should I be shopping for?

[acorn3583]

Ok, just to let you know, this is my first engine build, so please be gentle, . I would like to know what clutch and pressure plate combo would be best suited for my build.

6 bolt 2.3L
4g64 crankshaft
Eagle H beam rods
Probe .20 over 8.5:1 pistons
MHI Evo V twin scroll 16g turbo

Aiming for 20-22 lbs

Keep in mind, im still finishing the motor and its my very first, so I have no idea what hp/tq numbers to expect. Anyone running something similar so I can get an idea of what works best? What tq range should I expect? And how do I know what to shop for? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd go with a South Bend clutch. The SS/TZ combo is good for over 500 ft-lb of torque, has a light pedal feel, and is very well priced. If I'm not mistaken, it's a Stage 25 or 31

Is there a best place to purchase from? Whats a good price range for what im looking for? 500 dollars isnt exactly easy spending for me but I want to make sure its gonna last and be well suited for the job
