Default zetec turbo, what clutch for 240bhp ?

hi all,

i have a zetec turbo which is running 200bhp and i want to get it up to 240, but my clutch struggles for grip as it is.

at the min im using a cvh flywheel and a new genuine ford clutch but it still slips on the occasion,

What clutch can i upgrade to before i get more power?
im kinda on a tight budget too

cheers
steve

you've done well to get 200bhp and the associated torque to be held on a ford clutch, normally give in at 180-190bhp.
you've got a few options though, a top end ap organic clutch, should be just short of £400, or a paddle clutch.
both require a manual clutch pedal conversion.

i have 200bhp and 220ft/lb of torque, and i already have the manual clutch pedal, so looks nlike im in for a expensive clutch now
