ACT single plate organic is rated to 500lbft and perfect for what you have.
Pedal load is a bit heavier but you get used to it.

Dont you need a 6 speed flywheel too.
The 5 speed one is smaller.

Yes I'm hoping to grab a second hand lightened flywheel to keep costs down,the whole lot Inc engine parts are being sent off to be balanced before fitment aswell

Yes, it's a single plate non paddle. I've been using it since last April and it's good - no judder and smooth. Pedal load is a bit higher but you get used t.o that quickly.
I got Extreme Scoobies here in Essex to supply and fit but I believe Apex performance (the people who do BC suspension) stock them. They're American, I believe. Dearer than Excedy but pretty well on a par with AP

I had an AP organic (5 speed) clutch in my 6 speed 450bhp/ 370 ft lb P1. Perfect after 18k miles but.... No drag strips or mad launches. Must have been lucky

By the way a twin plate doesn't mean it's a paddle - it can be either.
