How would a clutch affect the power of the engine or the internals?

Power output affects the longevity/durability of the clutch. Not the other way around, meaning the choice of clutch has no effect on the motor internals or power output.

Get an OEM 5th gen clutch (2000 to 2001), or stage 1 if you must. Stage 2 is overkill and unnecessary unless your boosted.

So stage 1 oem clutch kit would work perfectly with upgraded ignition coils and spark plugs, I love the power I got for now until I go SE R swap from a 06 Altima
i just want my motor and tranny to last me some I got 207,000 miles and I'm second owner but I know for a fact that I'm the first owner to rough up the motor and tranny
