Default Which clutch to use when over 350ftlb?

I would really like to know which clutch to use when the engine is over 350ftlb.

I would like it to still be organic,Can feks. the AP Racing organic hold up to more then the claimed 420nm?

Do anyone have any both positive or negative to say about this clutch???


All info would be great.

AP Organic Uprated as available from sales@questmead.co.uk or BRD and others.
On my second in well over 30,000 mls. Absolutely nothing wrong with the friction material on the first one after maybe 20k mls but I rived the centre out of the plate, tearing the metal lugs with a bit of over exuberance at Bruntingthorpe. Somewhere between 460 and 500 ft lbs if you want to open the rolling road debate again.

john banks got a RCM/AP flywheel and clutch kit for his 6speed. I would check with them for this option. there is pictures on this thread.

check with RCM but I doubt there will be any issues.

john still runs his standard starter as although the clutch is 10mm larger the flywheel is the same size but with a different mounting face for the cover. the cover has two or three extra bolts to clamp it down.

I was just thinking that jb's 6speed box had a release bearing in it , so that was the one we used , check with RCM that the classic/sti7 release bearings are the same as I never checked them side by side , so you my need one.
