Default Clutch for 220+ HP applications?

To those with turbo's and tricked out supercharger setups who are you looking to for your clutch needs?

Clutchmaster?
ACT?
others?


Does anybody know if someone makes a variable clamping force clutch for a TC?

For my setup which was listed in another thread I was going with clutchmasters. I've talked to numerous people and they said they liked it. Then again its what other people said. I have never actually used clutchmasters before.(my first real project car hehe)

FX2 I believe. The one that holds 70% over stock. From what I have been told from a few scion guys is that our stock clutch can handle up to around 230ish rather easily. When we get to the 240+ range is when we start wearing the clutch away rather fast or we get slippage. I took it with a grain of a salt and went with the one that holds 70% over stock.

Torque kills clutches, not HP. So a clutch like the ACT Street Clutch, which we have on the shelf is fine and supports our 290WTQ without a problem.

Sorry thats what i was thinking but didnt say. I was thinking i if i wanted more power for ex. 50 more hp then more tq comes with that. Im at 280 right now so i would say 50 hp would bring me to a little more than 300 depending on on other things.
