31-10-11, 22:52 GMT+10#21 400 @ 13 psi on the allstar dyno. although to me it feels more like 330-ish compared to my vl. i'll get a stronger wastegate spring and crank it up once i've got the clutch sorted

twin plates are much lighter and more street friendly then a hard core single

30-01-12, 18:59 GMT+10#25 I ended up committing an extreme drift clutch, pretty pricey, feels light and bites hard. I was dead keen on the carbon series clutches by extreme, but i heard that you have to get them heated up to clamp well, otherwise they'll slip.
I'm hoping this clutch will hold up and last.

I had a exedy cushion button clutch, but it only lasted for 18months...I've heard bad things from a couple of ppl about exedy lately in regards to durability and HP

20-02-12, 08:42 GMT+10#36 I'm trying to find a clutch for my 25/30 but can't make up my mind with all the mixed information out there lol.
the motor isnt finished yet but to start with it should have at least 230kw so a clutch that can easily handle between 230 and 280 kw is what i'm after.
Will be used for regular street duties and probably given a bit at events for some fun however not trashed everyday it's driven. i was looking at a exedy hd button clutch because of cost (only 550 delivered) but now i dont even know. this is my first time actually having to buy a clutch as ive mainly driven autos.

I kept trying to cut corners or look at cheaper clutches but eventually I bit the bullet and payed extra to (hopefully) ensure I got the right clutch.
I don't mind a little less drivability if it lasts and clamps well.
