It will be a lot of wear and tear on your left leg for nothing if you get a stiff clutch now.

If you will be really making 450ish hp regularly (requires some additional octane/alchohol injection/E-85) then you will be going through clutches every 8-12 months anyways. Might as well get used to changing them often now ;-)

Launching is what kills clutches. If you are a launching fool then get the biggee clutch now. If you can keep from launching then you could get away with a lesser clutch.
