Which clutch for 400bhp?? Except twin plate?
Hi guys
Well I'm after a clutch for my classic future power will be about 400bhp what clutch will be good for this I don't want a twin plate as the sound does my head in.
Also is a lighten flywheel needed for a road car do the lighter flywheels help??
Any advice would be great

Hmmm, when are you planning on fitting said clutch?
Point being is that you can do it after your engine rebuild but then you need to take into consideration if you are going to rebuild your gearbox to take the power or if you are going to go 6 speed?
Either way I wouldnt go for a paddle clutch, and a decent clutch to take a fair amount of torque wont be cheap, check the prices first but your gearbox will need to be taken into consideration I think, but AP or Helix are good makes, look at over 700 quid for a decent one though.

I have a exedy hyper carbon twin plate fitted at the min, but its just the noise after years of a twin plate the noise is getting to me haha.. i do a lot of town driving and the mrs use's the car so just trying make it user friendly as poss..
I thought i could get away with a lesser clutch as i was't going for big bhp

go for a ap racing clutch they feel just like a std clutch and no judder what so ever,stay away from exedy,ive had two exedy clutchs both pink box and both were rubbish,both had judder!

I changed my Exedy pink box after 2000 miles because I couldn't stand the judder any longer. The AP I replaced it with feels like standard & has taken plenty of stick.

so then had new flywheel and exedy clutch fitted and still had judder,so about 3k later had exedy removed and ap racing fitted on the same flywheel,and guess what no judder what so ever and ive done about 8k now and still no judder!
