Default CG Motorsport clutch

Hi,
My standard (genuine ford) clutch has started slipping badly after 300 miles so I am after an uprated clutch. Current spec is pretty average, fmic, exhaust, filter, -31 and 14psi. I would like a clutch that will good for 200+bhp/lbft to give me scope for the future.

Has anyone used CG motorsport clutches in 200+bhp rs turbos?

I am likely to go with AP otherwise, even though the CP2000-8 kit is rated a 169lbft from searching it looks like its good for upto 230bhp/lbft?
Should I be looking at the CP2000-35 kit?

I did skim flywheel and will be skimming it again to be 100% sure everything is ok.

I've used a alcon 6 paddle and a standard pressure plate (luk) and it copes with mine really well.

Got an AP 2000-8 in my ERST. Been dealing with 195Ftlbs or torque for 15,000+ miles now.

I don't really want a paddle clutch so I'm swaying towards the 2000-8.

Chopshop85 - Did you do the pedal conversion and have your flywheel skimmed when you fitted the clutch?

Already had the pedal and haydraulic conversion done from a previous clutch.

IIRC you need to do with pedal conversion with the 2000-8, and no my flywheel looked fine so didnt need to be skimmed.
