I am using helix 6-paddle kit with same sort of power. It holds perfect, but little hard in town with hard traffic(hard pedal). Helix also made organic kit, so, next time I will try to use it. I think you need organic h/d plate with h/d cover - AP or Helix will be fine.

What about "shaking" when taking of..? as have been running a AP 6 paddle with std cover before and it was "shaking" a fair bit when taking of...

I'm also trying to figuere out what clutch to choose as my uprated organic AP is slipping when taking full boost (also running around 380-390 bhp)....and I have been told that the alcon will not last to long, but it's better than the AP ?? anyone who knows about that ?
