if you have the cheeze, go with South Bend Clutch. an organic clutch will do you well.

if you dont quite have the reserves Valair is another one i have been hearing good things about.

I would recommend for you to get a clutch that is capable of handeling about 100-150hp more than what your putting to the ground right now. so if your pushing say, 275hp, get a clutch that can handle 400-450hp. that way you know it will handle what ever you do and wont slip on you.

me, I'm looking at hopefully joining the 500hp club. so I need a clutch that can handle a minimum of 600.

this is just playing it safe.
