What "stage" clutch for a Turbo'd 500hp G???

I have a turbo'd G. It has a shortblock build and is pushing over 500 at the wheels. My current issue is that my JWT clutch is starting to slip and slip badly. I am taking it in tomorrow to verify what is going on. But if it is indeed the clutch, are there any recommendations on what to do? I am wondering if a stage 2 is good enough, or should I get a stage 3-4 clutch. I believe the flywheel is good and everything else is okay. I really wont know until its ripped apart. But what should I look at as far as clutch's?

Should edit the title to put the word clutch in it...thought this was someone asking what stage kit they should get because they want 500 hp. but free bump

Get yourself a twin plate clutch/flywheel assembly and you should be good!

Thats what im debating. I keep tossing that idea around. Money is tight just like with everyone. I dont know if the flywheel needs to be done as well. I understand that they should be replaced at the same time, kinda like brakes and rotors, but if my flywheel can be resurfaced, or is good to go I would rather spend the 400 dollars for say a spec 4 clutch than the 1000 dollars for a spec twin plate clutch.

If money's tight you're driving the wrong car. If the
Clutch is fried you will need a new flywheel, seriously look into a twin disc unless you want to keep replacing them. I've had my os giken twin for 20k miles and it holds the power just like new

Yes I understand what you mean about the wrong car, usually money is not as tight as it is currently. It just is haha. I think im leaning towards a twin clutch since last dyno (I found the sheet) im pullin 532 hp and between 519-530tq. They say if you hit around 550 you must have a twin clutch and thats probably what I will be getting. I dont know if I will get a giken, spec, or competition clutch. Either one I think is a great setup. Now just to find someone in the area that does clutch jobs and is good O and getting there.

K well a twin clutch is what I will be getting. I am between Carbonetics, and a competition clutch and Spec. Anyone have any advice on the 3. I have searched and there is good things about all 3. I am just seeing what you all think.
