Stage 3 i would go organic, no point in living with a paddle at that sort of power IMO.

Standard off Mike should be good enough mate or a 6 paddle with a standard cover.

6 paddles aren't bad to live with, nothing like a 4 paddle in an rst.
i have a cosworth paddle/frs setup on my zt xr2, nice pedal feel and not particularly juddery.

I use alcon 6 paddle with standard ford motorsport cover and bearing handles power but feels like standard clutch.

I used to cringe if i see a que of traffic when i had a paddle clutch (6 paddle) in my 3dr, there superb when your on the move.

The AP organic in my saff feels like standard but will handle 400bhp, so i personally would stay well clear from a paddle for stage 3.

I found the organic clutch to be, in a word, shit.
Get a 6 paddle with standard cover and it's job done.

I ran a standard cover with an OMP (8 paddle iirc) friction plate on one of mine and it was spot on. Dicko had the same one in his T4'd Sapph and was good in there too.

I asked to buy a diff off Mike the other month and when he quoted me a price via PM I said its £700 cheaper on your website. His reply was "The website price is not up to date" So I PM him now to be sure

Carlo, I used a standard genuine Ford clutch on my Stage 3 Saph and was fine for over a year with proper abuse

Heliix paddle clutches are around 380.

AP and Alcon are similar price but the AP has a rock solid pedal whereas Alcon is nice and soft.

Have a look at Spec clutches from the states as i was going to buy them as they are rated higher than AP or Alcon but this may be a bit OTTT for your needs
