Default Which clutch for 380ish bhp ?

As title-which clutch should I get to handle around 380bhp and also which flywheel ?

I did have an Exedy uprated organic clutch but it looks quite worn !

Clutches are normally rated in Lbs/ft Torque, The exedy organic, should easily cope with 350 lb/ft.

I've just wrecked an "uprated " organic clutch on track, looks like driven plate has disintegrated (16k miles total use). Beginning to think the recognised uprated organic clutches are marginal with power/torque approaching the mid 300s plus a bit of track abuse. My car is at Scoobyclinic for repair at present, don't know what to get fitted yet. Considering the SC "500" or Exedy twin plate clutches as these are supposed to be drivable on the road unlike AP paddle or Exedy single plate racing clutches. BTW does anyone know what clutch Lichfield use in their T25, might be a good guide.
