the clutch you should get is the southbend OFE disk with the SS pressure plate definetly worth the money its a little stiff but I love it

You see ,I have a lot of mods to do .. I spend a lot for the BBS's and the wheels last month so I am thinking to buy the ATP manifold and the clutch after installing the elim.kit
There is another question in my mind 'which clutch' should I buy and what stage '3 or 4' ?

You'll want to get a new clutch too.

Forget about 1/4 mile, if you have stock clutch.
I have Southbend OFE SS stage 4. I even have problems sometimes. I slipped it couple of times.
If you want to keep your stock clutch for a while, only race you can do on highways. Dont plan to lanch from full stop. I guarantee you'll slip it in 1st and 2nd gear for sure.
Ones you slip, it takes about a week to heal.

however i did pull up next to a kia rio hatchback with chrome hubcaps, huge exhaust, a ginormous wing and a five inch monster tach and shift light (it was a manual shift auto
anyhow i pulled up next to him and axed him to race but he just looked scared and rolled up his window haha, i wouldnt have wasted the gas anyway

I beat a ralliart lancer last night with at least exhaust (162hp, 162ft/lbs stock). He blamed it on his uphill launch, even though he's the one to challenge me.
