Bear in mind a cerametalic friction material will wear out faster than organic, particularily if you are inclided to slip the clutch unncessarily in traffic/hill starts.

Clutches should be torque rated not power rated (bhp). 6 puck paddle is fine IMO, just need to learn it - and it is much tougher if ur going stage 4

Personally I would be going 6 paddle. It has a torque rating higher than the organic clutch and if you are going stage 4 with this in mind and you are planning a new clutch just have the 6 paddle fitted.

Where could I find the best price for Helix 6 paddle clutch?
I already found this site, but don't know whether there is better opportunity elsewhere?

I am wondering if you update clutch will cope with 370 and 300 torque I hope so as th s/c delivers it in a nice linear way when compered to a turbo. time will tell. I fit does slip better get something better

I'm certain it's Helix. I recently purchased the competition organic clutch from Courtenay and it's got Helix stamped all over the box.
