5 or 6spd??

either way an AP organic is likely to struggle at that level dependant on exact use.............

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.

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.
