I run a 4 paddle AP with a standard cover and bearing, i just drove as normal. If you haven't already fitted, use the standard cover and bearing - it'll make a far smoother drive.
How does it compared to a 4 paddle kit and a stock RST clutch? Do you think it would handle between 200-230BHP?

About 200 brake, give or take. Been in a little while and going well. Reason for running standard cover and bearing is to reduce judder and make the pedal lighter. Uprated cover and bearing as well is bloody awful to drive. Works a treat so far ! Should take 230 without issue I'd think.

I may well do a rolling road and perform a clutch swap like you have in the future I understand that above 200BHP the choices become limited in terms of what clutches will work.
ATM I am running a Helix 4 paddle, which although is better after bedding in it still requires effort to drive well!

I run a Alcon 6 paddle disc with a standard cover and it handles near 250bhp at the wheels.
Boost at 14psi, we had it at 18 when mapping and it just started to slip coming on boost in 5th so the boost was backed off.
