What sort of power are you at ?

I ask as I am thinking of upgrading before I start. A fellow builder has fitted the 240mm mk1 focus Rs Ap clutch he is running the Mt75 gearbox and it was running 325 ish

But have you been getting away with 260 on the t9 ?

I have an rx8 5 speed but I don’t want to mess about with an hydraulic clutch conversion and an engine swap this year.
