If you can afford it , fit an Exedy twin plate, it will cope with those levels all day long.

Budget for 500-1200 quid if you want a decent clutch

AND IM TELLING YOU THAT IS HOW MUCH IT COSTS so thats what you should be looking at, there is the exedy priced at around 1200 quid plus vat, thats good for 600lb ft, and you rate clutches at lb ft not bhp

I can vouch that the exedy/cusco twin plate will cope with 600 lb/ft

Future proof option for you Gus

As above, running a 6 puck ACT clutch. very user friendly and rated to 450lbft

You can get them dirt cheap from gripforceclutches on ebay.com (not uk version as they are located in the states)

If your not bothered about priced I have just pulled an ACT clutch out which was rated to 730lbs and coped with my power and launches. I'm replacing it with a Carbonetics tripple plate clutch as I'm going for more power and want to be safe. This is the clutch that runs in andyf's race car so if you want a quality clutch and don't care about price

There is an ACT clutch rated at 515lb/ft for around £700 I think it is. BOB sells them.

for the power you are running you dont need a trippleplate, ive got the carbonetics twinplate and copes very well, i was running an ap organic with 550/520 with no issues, just the opportunity to have this clutch came along
