I found the 4 paddle extremely on and off so went for a AP6 paddle. Now on an Alcon and it feels better than that imho... and no slipping up to 435 at the wheels. Generally run her at 410 or thereabouts... at the flywheel.

Never run a 4 Paddle...........I'm also on AP 6 Paddle........however my cars not turned a wheel yet
only 3 years into the build
I should be running around 360-380bhp but didn't realise there could be slip problems with this sort of set up

I did drive with the 4 paddle for a few months - was really viscious by comparison and lots of dipping clutch in and out in traffic... the flywheel looked pretty blue when it came out and fitted another.

i used an alcon 6 plate paddle clutch in mine with the uprated cover not a standard one and never ever had any problems for 4 years of abuse - it only started slipping after that and then i decided to strip the car anyway.
