I believe he's not saying it can't be done. What he's saying is that the "I can't spend more than X dollars" mentality isn't a good one to have. If you "want" a more aggressive (note I didn't say better) clutch then you should get one. If the most aggressive clutch you can afford (now) is clutch X and it meets all your requirements buy it. If it doesn't meet your requirements and a less expensive one does, buy it. If none of the clutches in your price range meet your requirements, buying one in your price range now then replacing it later just drives up your overall cost. So if the clutch that meets your minimum needs is out of your price range right now, then save up and buy it. What you need to specify is the requirements of your clutch, keeping in mind that you can't have your cake and eat it too. The best clutches out there for racing are not streetable. That being said you're probably looking for a streetable clutch that will result in being able to hold the power your car is putting out. So simply look at your flywheel horsepower/torque (estimated from a dyno) and buy the appropriate clutch. Finally, a clutch is deffinitly a wear item. Just like brake pads and tires, they wear down (because they're supposed to). It is up to you to define what would then constitute excessive wear. Personally, I think that if a clutch needs to be replaced once a race season (assuming around 10 events) then it's just fine. So you'll also need to consider how many races a season you can really afford to race.
