Steve @ 1 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 People are running 280-300bhp on standard clutches so you'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites

jims13 6 Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 would a aftermarket pressure plate coupled with the stock clutch plate , be a good comprimise on price. ive did this on my 200sx , and used a ap paddle with the exedy cover , was running around 280-290bhp and the feel was good.
