Should be good for 200+bhp

try to visit demontweeks and have a look, think it is around 250.
IMO think you will have best value for money with helix, paddle clutches are even more expensive than helix.
Cheers

ap/helix organic clutch will be fine for your needs.
AP 4 paddle if you want to push the power up later.

well if u stick in a ap/helix you wont need to worry about at again any time soon unless you go for over 200bhp my ap held on for a while after i got 226 bhp in my old one, was still in there when i sold it too, never had a helix but heard they are very good

alcon 6 paddle with standard clutch cover will take everything you can throw at it they have even been used with a stage 3 cossie engine used in front wheel drive format running well over 300bhp with torque to match without problems can be had for less than £200
