well, id like to just comment on this real quick...i have the exedy flywheel and stage 2 clutch and it drives amazing. just like txmica3 said, he wouldnt hesitate to drive it without a turbo as well..im not turbo...i changed my clutch because the stock clutch just couldnt handle the added power anymore..drove me nuts !!! everytime i wanted to push my car, SLIPPPPPPPPAGEEE. i got so sick of it that i finally saved up for the exedy stage 2 and lightwheight flywheel...i can see what some ppl are trying to say that the stage 2 would be hard to drive if your NA, but i also have the lightwheight flywheel which has way more inertia and im sure the stock clutch would take forever to engage fully. but i still wouldnt hesitate to drive the stage 2 clutch. anyway, its a great product though !! i love it, and it lasts a long time

your clutch must have just been toast to begin with, because you should not have had any issues with the stock clutch with bolt ons. hell, go into my thread (link in sig) and go to post #2 where my videos are. that video there was taken with the stock clutch in the car. it slipped a little but not bad considering. plus it was shot anyway. a month or so after that video it died completely.
clutches wont make your car feel sluggish (i wish nobody had said that, now everyones going to think its true). the whole "sluggish on take off" thing is due to flywheels, if anything. getting to light of a flywheel will make the car more difficult to get rolling since there is less momentous weight rolling (more weight + speed = momentum). this is regardless what power/mods/car you have, its just physics. lighter flywheels are great when your rolling since its less weight to turn, however getting them to build momentum takes more speed and time. stock flywheels are pretty heavy in order to make the car easier to drive in stock form.
the only thing that catches me off guard in my car now is that there is NO slipping.. at all. when the engagement point hits, theres about an inch where it is engaged.. then it is not. this one just grabs. (note that pedal weight is the exact same, so dont think im getting my calves worked out here lol).
