Loads. An AP Organic or Helix Organic will cope easily

This is ok for S2 220mm

The ap high torque organic clutch is crap. Not worth the money atall. Try a helix 6 paddle clutch. I got one from area six and was a very nice clutch with a good feel and will cope with any thing you give it

Mates running 246lb/ft and hes got a 6 paddle..
Absolute ballache in traffic but handles the power no problem whatsoever..

Anything but a 4/6 paddle will struggle i think

this is the ap one I use! for my FRST, I have a little more than standard under my right foot and it seems ok to me! to be honest I find the 195's tend to let go first and I have a quaife in it! - I got mine at amber performance many moons ago!

My FRST was 200lb/ft and used an AP Organic, never a sniff of trouble. Escort at over 260lb/ft on a Helix Organic and that's taken some serious shit. Not nice in traffic though. If you use the car in traffic I wouldn't recomend a paddle at all.

Had an AP Organic clutch on my old FRST.

That was 196bhp and 200lb/ft, never slipped once.
