what's the max power people used this clutch with?

i currently have it in my f7r turbo on 7psi (no idea how much power it has) but i'm going to upgrade and trie to get at least 280hp.
want to know how far i can go or if i have to buy a stronger clutch already...

I ran that setup, slipped over 12psi, so I changed the cover plate for the helix one to match the 4 paddle clutch already in there and it was and still is fine at 17psi odd

Sorry, i made a typo. 10psi atm...

But if i want to make it to 280 i deffo need a helix cover?
Anyone have experience with how much the Helix can take?

I wouldn't say defo, but in my application the valeo didn't have the clamping force even with the paddle friction plate, so I had to rip it apart and swap out for the helix

I ran 21psi for a few days a couple of years back, it took that no problems, but as said that was for a very limited time before I dropped back to 16psi

Depends on how lucky you are, I was still running the valeo green box clutch and 15psi :wasntme:, so im guessing the Helix clutch should cope fine for a lot higher.

I think handy was running the helix cover and 6 paddle clutch but it is in the 215mm clutch and flywheel from the 172 :)
