you can pick up an OEM flywheel pretty cheaply and get a DxD Southbend stage 3 ofe (oem full face) clutch. You may not even really need to replace your flywheel...

It's a modified OEM unit (only the clutch material is modified, throwout bearing and actual disc is stock Exedy unit), but it's strong as HELL. I've got some friends who have been beating those clutches for 30,000+ miles with no issues. I have not seen the claims officially verified, but Southbend claims that it will hold with up to 800 to the crank.

Mine ran me $550.00 shipped. Feels like a stocker, too (until you launch and don't smell clutch smoke).

Its really hard to say power wise, in about a month after the clutch problem is solved, and the 60000 mile service, im loking to get a fp red, injectors and fuel pump, i really wouldnt know the numbers on that with the current mods on my car, but other than that i wouldnt know much more power wise... so a clutch and flywheel that wil hold that much power with those mods


also Racer x where did you get that clutch package from ???

and blacksti, which is better a 4 or 6 puck clutch ?

idk if you ever plan on making around 400 you can either go hd pressure plate and 6 puck or get a harder pedal feel but a softer engagement with going with and xtreme pressure plate and a full face disk
