Default what clutch 500nm / 370lb/ft

I need a clutch to handle at least 500nm or 370lb/ft, preferably more to be safe.

Which ones do u guys use? Would prefer an organic item.

Where is the best/cheapest place to buy them?

Just the bearing is different mate, the friction plate and cover plates are the same.

You do not need a paddle clutch for 370 ft/lb. An AP Organic will be fine. Will last for a good while as well. My organic clutch only started to slip once i put the big turbo on and had proper power.
