How about this clutch?

Ok i was looking for clutches today and i was talking to alot of people and they are saying stay away from ACT clutches so I am taking their advice. here is what i found. Do you think that this clutch will hold up pretty good with a DH racing PnP head, full valvetrain w/ cam regrind, 75 shot I/E/ Vafc2 and the ever so useless AEM under drive pulleys.

Here is the info on the clutch:

Clutch Masters High Performance Stage 3 (HDTZ) - FX300
If you're looking for the best performing, highest quality clutches available, then Clutch Masters is what you have been looking for. What makes Clutch Masters different? It starts with a 20-thousandths stainless steel backing on the backside of the friction material. This helps to transfer heat from the lining to minimize "Clutch fade" and ensure consistent performance. From there, they use a modified fulcrum point to increase pressure on the disc but without a substantial increase in pedal pressure as seen with other clutch brands. This is also important in protecting against the destruction of the crankshaft from excessive pressure on the thrust bearing which can happen when the pedal pressure is excessive. Some Extreme duty clutches can push the crankshaft a few thousandths of an inch forward when the clutch is depressed. This is not good at 8000 RPM. Lastly, the pressure plate utilizes a ductile iron casting which gives a much higher burst strength than other "grey-iron" castings. This gives you the peace of mind that the clutch won't be riding in the seat with you under high rpm use..

I wouldn't reccommend going higher than a stage 2 unless you upgrade your axels.
also you will put a harder strain on the tranny...go to any trannyshop and you will see hondas
in the lot getting worked on because of the upgraded clutch....you will burn the synchros real quick.
