you should be happy, you've got to be 220-230bhp now.
Yeah i've had a paddle before and hated it, the CP2000-35 is rated to 61ftlb more than my current CP2000-8 so that should do it I hope, it's just fucking expensive £370+ delivery!!!
Still got plenty more boost to go!!

For the record i've had a -35 in for a couple of years with the car running 250bhp/230ft pounds....pod, brunters, trackdays and never had it slip. Be ideal for the sort of power i imagine you're running and nicer to drive than a paddle.
Oh thats good to here!! Cheers!
The paddle with the same cover will hold more torque because the pressure is spread over the surface area of only the 4 paddles, rather than the whole organic plate, so whoever told you that on the phone is a little off the mark! lol
None the less thats the one i'll go for!! Unless there is a better alternative?
