You don't really need one, I'm on a stock clutch will well over 300whp for the past 3 years and many track days

after a while with the amount of pressure it takes for that pedal to go down you are gonna feel it in your back

Learn from me, don't get a heavy clutch. I had a ACT 6-puck and I think it literally ruined my left knee. I can't drive in traffic (even with my Exedy stage 1) without it hurting to some extent. My commute routes aren't decided on time, they are decided on how many clutch presses I have to do.
