for power over 350bhp larkspeed said it is a 5 paddle cos there 6 paddle can not handle that sort of power

well if the larkspeed 5 paddle takes more than an alcon six paddle il b a monkeys uncle
plus the 5 paddle has less of a surface area to contact with the flywheel and engagement will not be as smooth
