Default NA-T Clutch, Spec 3 or 3+

Ok guys its almost time to get my project going just knocking off a few more parts off the list before it goes under the knife. Right now i am debating on what clutch to go with. I have decided that i will be going with Spec Stage 3 clutch, but am not sure if i should go with the Spec Stage 3 or Stage 3+. For all you NA-T heads out there what do you think would be best with my set up.

Fully rebuilt 2JZGE w/ 1.3mm HG
PT-61 turbo
DaveH Manifold
Front Mount Intercooler 32x8x3.5
Tial Wastegate
MAP ECU
550cc rx7 injectors
Custom 3" mandrel piping to magnaflow 14835
255lph walboro Fuel Pump
Apexi BOV
2.5" Intercooler piping
Stage 1 AIS water methanol injection

Also with this set up what kind of numbers do you guys think i will be making? I was hoping to make around 400 give or take 50.

Move this to the performance section mods. Thanks

wrong section....clutch is drivetrain...and not suspension or brakes.

clutches are rated on how much torque they can hold and not hp.

you can have a motor making 600hp use a 5" clutch if it only makes 200lb/ft torque.

simple search pulled up that stage 3 is good for 360lb/ft of torque and 3+ is good for 465lb/ft.

pick the one that will have more holding power.

btw you editted your post as i was typing mine so....yeah

i was never off topic. if you dont know what you have then do more research first on your own. a nice list of parts is just...well..."a nice list of parts"

i might come off kind of like a d1ck but all im trying to do is help people understand why certain things are done or why to do them, rather then just buying parts, installing them, and THEN figure out what will come of it. good luck on your build

Nah you aint comin off as a *****, just wanted some advice from some fellow na-t guys. and their experiences and knowledge about the clutch. The reason i asked the lexus heads is because i have seen nothing but good responses about the clutches on supraforums. Just wanted some feedback on the 2 clutches thats it.
