Stock mitsubishi should do well even with 400 awhp. As long as you don't drag launch it once a week, should last several years.

OEM is all you need, but if upgrading go southbend for sure...

I have looked all over again,and was thinking that a oem Exedy clutch would work thanks.I have found alot over the web (local shops have all quoted to high) and have found three Exedy oem clutchs on ebay with light weight flywheels for a good price, but not sure of the flywheels? One is a F1 chromoly,the other is a XTR also chromoly both are 14.6LBS the last is a F1 racing flywheel it is billet aluminum with a screw on friction surface dont like the sound of aluminum but it is 10.6lbs or Should i leave the stock flywheel on ??

Leave the oem flywheel if possible. The light weight flywheels are going to make your daily driving suffer some.

OEM disk and aftermarket PP like the RPS MAXX pressure plate.

Definitely go with this option, this is a great set-up and exactly what I did. 40k miles and a bunch of launches later and the clutch is still doing very good. I have the engine out right now and will be replacing the disk and getting the flywheel resurfaced but the pressure plate is still in great shape (I can run my fingernail across it and still feel the grooves). The disk could still be used, but it's not much money to replace it now while it's convenient.
