SQR Stage 4 9000 Aero...which stage spec clutch? 1 or 2

I drive a '95 9000 Aero 5 spd with Stg 4 SQR software at 308 bhp, full true 3" DP/exhaust, ETS intercooler, custom AEM DryFlow intake, Forge dump valve, complete engine overhaul 3k miles ago with balance shaft delete, and a few other custom goodies. Transmission shifts like new, although I know my stock clutch has about 2 months left on it before it starts to slip with the 360-400 ft-lbs. of torque.
I plan on replacing the stock clutch with a SPEC clutch kit (pressure plate, clutch disc, bearings), stainless clutch line, and new OEM master and slave. My question is, with this amount of power/torque, do I need the SPEC stage 1 or 2 clutch kit? Here are the torque ratings for each (according to SPEC):
Stage 1: 399 ft-lbs.
Stage 2: 449 ft-lbs.
There is also about a $50 price increase with the Stage 2. I'm willing to spend it if I need to, but I'm wondering if I really need it.
By the way, the car is driven only on the street, never raced, with a relatively happy right foot :)
Any input would be wonderful! Thanks!
