   not really worth it mate, but if your thinking of further mods ie cams/ported/remap and so on then worth getting uprated clutch
   
   I've come across them a phew times but never heard if them, so wondering if anyone has had any dealings with them, and advice on the clutches

   cams and throttle bodies you can use a standard clutch, its torque that kills clutches not power (hence why turbos go through them faster than superchargers) No point in getting an "uprated clutch" unless you achiving better torque. ID be asking for figs for these clutches, Helix is rated at about 160 although some have used close to 200 without problems (a standard clutch wont cope with 160lb torque) AP is rated at about 350bhp/280 torque IIRC.
