Default please can anyone help me?

Hi there everyone can you give me some advice please?
i am looking to upgrade my car to around 350bhp. I have a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4.
Now even i know that the standard clutch will not be able to take the stress. Especially with the way i drive my car......

I have been looking around on the geek net to try and look for clutches but to be honest i am not too sure what i am looking for?

Is there anyone out there who can give me advice please?

If you can help that would be great

Keith

go for stus stg 3 setup, u wont be dissapointed, and if the clutch is on its way out, go for either a alcon for AP 6 paddle, the 4 paddle ones a re bit savage IMO, mine is on a new std clutch done beofrei had it stg 3'd and its fine, i reckon i will only really notice it slip if u do launches , but then that would be silly as with the extra power and torque from teh stg 3, the std gearbox and diffs do tend to go pop at 350 and over with launches
