you should think ahead. what do you plan to do to your engine? if you plan to go turbo or squeeze then go with a stronger clutch that'll handle the extra power.
from my experience ACT clutches are really good. i have one now on my 96 GSR. It engages with no problems when I launch at 4500. I believe it's comparable to the Stage 1 you're talking about. Back when I bought it ACT only had 2 different kinds, one for the street and one for race.
