It's torque not the BHP Bud that kills clutches, I think said clutch is pretty strong though, never had one so can't fully commit to my comment but I'm sure a Tuner, or someone running one will be able to give a certain reply bud

Techniclutch are renowned for supplying non AP parts. Any good make 6 paddle will do the job fine for you, plus they aren't snatchy when you get used to them.

Ye they should be done for selling shit. You could see by the one I had it wasn't an AP one. I rang havery Gibbs scs today as he mapping my car an he said a paddle aswel. So order one some wen

Ayup mate I had a AP padle off matt lewis with a helix cover, as that's what he recommended me over the AP organic as I was just under 400bhp, & he said it wasn't worth the risk of fitting a organic & it starting to slip, even though they are supposed to be grate clutches, as you don't want be paying out twice!!! & I didn't think the paddle was that heavy either.

I got my Helix 6 paddle clutch from Reyland Motorsports, it can easily handle 400 ft lbs . Go for a hydraulic clutch conversion as well, it makes such a difference, well worth the money.
