Well its just a Zetec Turbo, so ask Luca on here since he's running up to those figures and has recently opted for a new type of clutch

That may be, but previously he ran high power on a different box. Otherwise just get in touch with people who have actually put a lot of miles on that power, because others saying an AP paddle will be fine and they only drive it 400 miles a year just isn't gonna be worth any of your time

But Charlie Orpen and SCC are 2 you should get in touch with
