Please make up your mind. Do you want a racing clutch or an offroad clutch?
They are REALLY different. You don't redline offroad. You redline all the time racing. Dumping the clutch offroad is a really good way to get you stuck or break things. And so on.
The stock clutch is decent for offroad, but it won't take frequent dumping too well (neither will the transmission or driveline, though).
If you think a racing clutch will let you sit at the friction point for a long time, you're going to burn through expensive clutches really quickly.
