Just checking GSF website for a new clutch for the R5. if i wanted to run 20psi and 25+ shot of nitrous would this clutch part take the strain? or is there a better clutch to buy?
i have a feeling my clutch might not last till the end of the month.

bleeding cars doing my nutt in. new tyres, boost spiking, warped cyclinder head where a water pipe burst on the worse road possible for it to go, and now i suspect the clutch is on its way.
All so i can go up a chuffing strip a few times.
Car is starting to wear me down a bit especially since its only done 1000 miles in under a year. :cry:

id expect the valeo one to be on its limits at anything pushing 200+bhp!

you could go for a mix combo! ie, use a paddle clutch's pressure plate with the valeos drive plate! or simply use a full paddle clutch setup.

It will last a while if you don't run it on the strip with drag tyres, if you plan on drag + NOS buy the paddle that Sparkie has & use a Valeo cover..
I had an AP cerametalic plate from Techcraft with the volvo cover... no slippage at pod with drag slicks & 24 psi mani :cool:
