Clutch choices

Hi,

What clutch do people have on cars with over 300bhp, 300 lb ft? I am getting my zetec turbo mapped at the moment and the AP clutch I have is slipping big time. I have a uprated Escort Turbo Gearbox.

Ive been thinking the same matey! best thing ive came up with is a Helix 6 paddle on ebay but its nearly £500, tho it'll handle that power & torque with ease :D
