I'd rather have too much clutch than not enough though....just in case you decide to go to the strip and run drag radials.

A lot of my customers are the "....I have 600 horsepower and I want a clutch that will hold it, but I want it to drive like a Honda...."

It's very challenging for me to pick the right combination of pressure plate and clutch disc. I never order "clutch kits" but always hand pick each component.

If you pay attention to the disc material, you can minimize chatter. The organic clutches will be pretty docile. The Kevlar discs will probably chatter when they get hot. The aluminum or bronze pad discs might chatter, but there's a less chance than with the Kevlar.
