Think you need to narrow it down a bit to get a decent response. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Well it would be for a high power application. Possibly around 400torques/500bhp.

Never heard of Competition clutches and Black Diamond.

I know Helix is up there and ive looked at that breifly, but just weighing up all the options.

Thanks.

I'd use something tried and tested with that amount of power.

Ask one of the guys running big power what they would recommend (Barbz, JBT, etc.). Helix is top of the range, but not cheap!

Most of those clutches are only rated to about 40% increase over standard. There's only one that'll take "big" power and that's the paddle clucth (with remarkably little wear potential before the rivets make contact with the flywheel)

Impossible to pass any kind of comment without prices.

Black diamond are better known for brake discs.

I'd get whatever Barbz recommends mate. It's an expensive job without having to rip it all out again to redo it.

Yeah exactly, when you have some time on your hands you start googling things and doing some homework.
