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. Now in the 400+ bhp club!

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.
