Default which brand of clutch and why?

Hi everyone, I wonder what clutch I should use.

My setup is
AP1 F20 with Comptech supercharger with a stage 2 pulley (10 pounds of boost), head gasket, good for about 370 whp

What I want from a clutch is SMOOTH engagement , nothing very harsh, same or a little harder pedal feel from stock one, very good drivability and something that can handle the power and do it all flawless

I'm not fan of noisy clutch (ceramic or puck)

I use my car as a daily driver, I go to drag racing maybe 4 times a year.

I have heard of ACT clutch kit and I tought that the HS1-HDSS clutch kit would be okay for my application?

Some guys recommended Exedy but I don't know that brand very much
I want to put a lighter flywheel and I want the best compromise between drivability and performance gain
What should I do?
thank you for your inputs

Get the act pressure plate with oem flywheel. Feels like the oem clutch and can hold over 500rwhp and 300tq with mase kit.

I would say ACT or SOS clutch.
Side note. You went with a thicker head gasket for 10 psi supercharger? Seems like a waste imo..
