Been told the standard FRS one will handle 350bhp, think 400bhp might kill it tho!
What torque is it running?....

i ran the uprated AP 6 paddle FRS clutch on my old zetec turbo setup, 2 BAR through a GT3071r would have been hammering over 400bhp and didn't slip at all.
Ł420 ish though for the kit new, well worth it and the pedal with a hydraulic clutch is so light it's great.
the original frs ones are fairly good when new, but the uprated paddles have a stronger sprung cover.
don't listen to people when they suggest a modified cossie paddle and frs cover, complete bollocks.

Cheers lads for the input, made 320lbs at wheels 338hp but this is at 23psi and aiming for another 7 psi possibly replacing the t34 for a gt3076
