I have a stage 4 9000, so fairly similar power/torque for what you're shooting for. I have a Spec clutch and am generally very happy with it. It is a little heavier than stock, but that is only an issue if I get stuck in a one hour plus traffic jam, which doesn't happen much. The only real gripe I have with the clutch is that if I've been hard on the power in a gear (think pulling 4-5,000 revs, full boost) and I go to downshift, the car refuses to go into gear. Double clutching does solve it. If I drove the car on track, it would probably be an issue, but for a street driven car, it doesn't bother me. I believe Taliferro had some issues with Spec, and was going to stop selling them. You could give him a call and ask for his insight. The Sachs performance clutch is a nice setup that is definitely closer to stock (I think it uses the stock pressure plate?) and costs a bit less, though you may be pushing it's limits with where your power/torque will be.
