Clutch suggestion

So my current engine mods are full bolt with the Edelbrock SC on E85 and currently planning on getting a new clutch but have a few questions.

Car’s pushing 310whp and around 240-260 wtq (can’t remember)

My car’s a MY19 with 21k miles, would it be recommended to also get a new TOB, clutch fork and pivot?

What brands do you guys recommend? I’ve been looking at ACT, Southbend, Excedy and OS Giken (maybe overkill?)

310 crank or wheel horsepower? Stay away from ACT as people reported problems on these forums. I would recommend Exedy Stage 1 or Competition Clutch.

I second this. My car is currently down waiting on my new Exedy Stage 1 clutch kit. I got my revised Throw Out Bearing already and it's waiting to be installed when the clutch arrives.

Toyota 86 in the building!

310 wheel horsepower, and stock clutch can’t really handle the added power/torque without slipping

Exedy stage 1 was in my car with 330whp and 260wtq. Held great, would 100% recommend.
