For 200bhp a AP CP2000-8 is perfect mate.

I did have but when I hit 230bhp it slipped so am now using the CP2000-35 which is the top Organic clutch they do.
The -8 is a nice clutch, not too heavy, but you must do the pedal and quadrant mod as per their website or it will not disengage fully.

I have cp2000-8 clutch kit, never slipped and comfortable to use. Clutch took very vell even my high power setup 267.3bhp / 339nm torque.
And Karlos, i have standard pedal and clutch is working 100%.
Second summer now with standard pedal setup.

How much power can the best non-paddle clutch cope with?
Also what organic clutches are out there that don't need any pedal mods?
