Maybe best to seperate this out into your own thread - but the OE spec clutch is good for 250lbs ft.

I went with a helix unit, expensive but tried and tested. the uprated friction plate and springs are holding 270lbsft at bay more than happily enough, so you dont need to go as high as a paddle unit.

Kestrel do a kevlar plate made to take whatever rating you wish - but it needs to have the flywheel re-ground (the Helix is a direct swap with no modifications).

there is some-one on .org who has just dropped in an uprated cover, but still using the OE friction plate and he got up to nearly 300lbsft feet with no slip, so that is an option to.

If you are using 'good' rubber and you get spin on the 16" wheels only suggestion would be to pick up a set of 17" or find a dif to fit in the box while you are doing the clutch. they wont cure it but they will help negate the symptoms a bit.... or dont stamp full throttle in first
