Default What clutch for 440HP and 400 Lbft

Ok what are the options?

I have a classic with a 6 speed box currently using an API uprated 5 speed organic which has been great but has given up after years of miles and sprints

Ideally non paddle and preferably uprated single plate.

I was thinking of going for the uprated 6 speed clutch and flywheel from API but wondering if there are any other options

Also what would be a decent price for a specialist to fit a clutch and flywheel that the customer supplied?

Thanks in advance

I would think about ACT.
I have one in my classic with 6 speeder and about the same power as your car has.
It did never ever give up on dragstarts and trackdays so far.
The clutch is a extrem duty with organic full face disc rated to about 550fb/lbs and so far I can say it takes the abuse!
(I thought it has gone on Saturday, but it was the reardiff that was damaged )

I'm running the Helix single organic on my car. My car is used everyday ranges from A,B and Motorways.

Pretty much the same feel as the OE one. Bite point is a little higher and takes a little getting used to.

I'm running 450bhp but only 386lbft so not sure with the extra 14lbft will do but not much more.
