Default Need clutch help

Ok so I put a 6 puk paddle clutch in my blob eye running 380 lbft as I'm going for more power ! I hate it with a passion so I'm thinking about a twin or triple plate - how do they drive compared to what I have now ? Any advice would be great !

if you want to future proof and are going for more power,exedy twin plate would do the job and would be needed as a 2.35 will definately produce the power.SJ.

Exedy twin plate is the best option for a 2.35 build and good in customers cars up to 600bhp.

Nice enough to drive, a bit of chatter from the plates when idling. Cost effective long term and they are serviceable. Comes complete with a lightweight flywheel: http://www.superhids.co.uk/clutches-...u-impreza.html

Would also like to know this, But something that can handle 450lb/ft on a built 2.5???? Would like something that drives like the standard clutch, but can take the torque of the 2.5 litre engine!

Whats the diffrents between a normaal clutch or a 6 or 3 paddle clutch.
And are the 6,3paddle clutch's not that good for the gearbox?
Is it more restrain on the gearbox.
