Big power clutch - What are you guys using?

[AceOfHearts]

I have just spoken to John Eales who can no longer get hold of the uprated AP clutch and it might be a few months until he can. I have also spoken to V8D who say they can supply a paddle clutch but recommend a twin plate as a fit and forget option but at almost £800 seems crazy!

What are you guys using for 350bhp plus?

Is a Mcleod single plate man enough?

Thanks guys I will give Dom a call later.

Kokkolanpoika - What gearbox are you running, is it a T5? Also what friction plate are you using with that setup?

Thanks thats another one good to know. I hopefully have something lined up now but will know by tomorrow. Out of interest how much boost are you running?

If I remember correctly, 10 psi. To get more power I would need to go for larger injectors Dom said.

Thanks for that, I am aiming for around 8-10psi too and have already fitted 450cc injectors so all being well it looks like I should be able to make good power. 350bhp at the wheels must be a monster!

Its ok the handbrake is useless anyways

Back on topic but i have just bought Peter's McLeod single plate clutch so I will see how that fairs in the car. More importantly it saves me having to spend hundreds and hundreds in the short term and even if it doesn't last long at least it spreads the cost a bit

I will have to get the flywheel re-drilled to take it but then it will be ready to take a twin plate as well if I ever need it
