Default Zetec Clutch help

ive got a 2.2L zetec powered capri running twin 45 and a maped system. im pushing out about 215bhp and 207 torque. im using a heavy duity clutch on a 1600 crossflow flywheel, and its just not holding. any ideas on a clutch that will hold?
i will be fitting nitrous soon so it will need to cope with that too.

thanks

ian

if your using a type 9 'box, and sticking with the x/flow flywheel, your limited to 190mm clutches, if you use a pinto flywheel you can use a 216mm clutch, the zetec clutch is 220mm. if your using a T5 'box then you can use a 2WD Cosworth clutch which is 240mm
basically the bigger diameter clutch the better as it has a greater surface area, call Dunnell as they do a lot of RWD Zetec conversions

if your using a type 9 'box then you should use a 2.0 pinto flywheel, then you can use an uprated RS2000 clutch, which can take a lot more torque than a crossflow clutch
