Default clutch decision help please

i was looking on competetion clutches' website and they dont show anything for the 08. i am assuming the 06 kit will work on the 08's, right?
Ceramic clutches better than the iron clutches?
any ways i cant decide an which clutch kit to get, i want it to be able to hold around 500 hp with out slip. please give me any opinions an which kit would be more reliable and not be as harsh on my trans while still supporting the hp. i dont want to have to worry about crank walk, would the Ironman clutch kit hold
500hp, or should i go with the Stage 4? any input is greatly appreciated

yes 08 =06 but you didn't say anything bout your mods.. you don't need a puck disc clutch if you don't have the rest of your drivetrain beefed up, you'll just break something. .02

You also need to choose a clutch based on your torque output.

what drivetrain components would be the first to go after upgrading to a 6-puck disk? i only have intake and exhaust now but am goin turbo soon and the clutch is gonna be the first thing i buy for the build. would you suggest this over setup over the 6-puck? i just dont want the clutch to be slipping at 500hp. i wanna get the clutch i will need the first time, please give opinions

ALternative to 6-puck?

what in the driveline would break from using a 6-puck? wouldnt it be the torque of the engine of a turboed car be the cause of something breaking or the harshness of a 6-puck clutch?

why would the 6-puck break things? torque is the enemy of weak parts right?
