Default clutch question

well since im low on money i was thinking about getting a exedy stage 1 (organic). its for a 90 integra and im hoping to get anywhere from 250-300 whp. will it handle that much power? will it slip after a while? or should i just wait for the stage 2 (3 plated clutch)? also if i get the stage 2 which is better the thick ceramic or the thin?

Thick is more suitable for street, thin is more suitable for racing. Your call.

An exedy stage one will not be sufficent for 250-300hp. Save up your money and do it right the first time. A clutch install is pretty time consuming and you only want to do it once. If youre interested in an Action Clutch then let me know and I can get you a great price.

A clutch handles TQ not HP.

I think it will handle somewhere around 175-200 lbs of TQ.

If you have 300 hp, you should have more than 200 lbs of TQ.
