Uprated clutch suggestions

[VRmonster 1]

im after an uprated clutch that will handle around the 350+ bhp mark. im thinking helix is going to be the best bet but i need it asap and i think they have a daft lead time of 5 weeks or something.

any suggestions on what to go for, and where to get it from. im calling vince at stealth about the helix tomorrow as i know theyre good for it, he he. but wouldnt mind a few other options just in case. if i cant find one it will be the stockers vr clutch for e38

also, what shoild i be replacing with the new clutch. i have clutch/flywheel bolts so far and thats it, lol.

cheers peeps, matt.

ive heard good things about the black diamond clutch which is supposed to be quite good, ive had it on a gti but never a vr6.

i have a black diamond one, they seem ok to me but mine was fucked before so can't really compare. has made a total change to the car though.

I've fitted a Helix kit a few weeks ago - Im pleased with it! I ordered it from Demon Tweeks and it came in 2 days. I fitted it and drove 2000 miles very hard inc a trip to the ring and its fine, its a bit juddery in reverse but I think thats just a charcteristic of the type of clutch it is.
