Default 200 whp, what is a good clutch for it.

I have an all motor set-up putting close to 200 whp. Would a clutchmaters stage 3 clutch be overkill for this motor? What else would you recommend? Also the clutch to get for a JDM S1 is from a ???

How long have you been running that clutch? Is the engagement rough?

Also what is the difference between a heavy duty clutch and the Xtreme one?

I've had the clutch for about 2 years now, she has stock pedal feel, and has worked flawlessly. I think the heavy duty has a little less clamping force than the Xtreme but I would have to refer you to ACT for the official response.

I've driven a GSR w/ 6puck HD pressure plate, and its pleasantly stiffer, and engages hard...the car is only making a mere 165 @ the wheels...but I thought Id add. I like it, but you might want a stonger clutch
