It's been a loooong time since I went clutch hunting and it looks like some of the names have changed lol.
Whats a good clutch for a daily driver (no button clutch lol) that might one day be able to hold 200 RWHP.
Are the exedy Sport tuff's (MZK-6964HD) any good, I've read some of there Tuff range can be a bit harsh.

Re: Clutch options for NB
Any brand name organic clutch will be fine. Exedy, NPC etc. I have an NPC organic HD clutch "rated" for 350hp. It's about 20% heavier than the standard clutch but with smooth slipping for slow/crawling traffic jam starts - drives like a standard clutch once you get used to the ever so slightly heavier effort.

Re: Clutch options for NB
Clutches aren't limited by power but by torque. Well, arguably they have a maximum speed and a maximum torque before slipping, which when multiplied equates to power, but it really is the ability to transmit torque that is important. The maximum working speed will always be faster than your engine can spin in any case.

Re: Clutch options for NB
OK, maybe a more direct question
Xtreme Clutch Kits -KMZ22015-1A
exedy Sport tuff's (MZK-6964HD)
Both look like they will hold more than the expected torque. Are they any other option which might be better for a daily.
Any one use them and can comment on drivability for a daily driver. Do they have a very short engagement point, noisy, etc.

Re: Clutch options for NB
My xtreme HD organic was fine at 200hp atw but is slipping just beyond that. Drivablity was fine. Heavier than stock but no real issues in start stop traffic.
