Default Clutch

Just about to do a manual conversion.

I have around 150-160rwkw & would just like to kno the benefits of a ceremic clutch if any... i have little knowledge at this stage. All i know is i can get a standard clutch for 300 odd, a heavy duty clutch for 380 odd or a ceramic 10puk clutch for 460 odd.

I plan to drag race the car so im assuming the ceramic clutch is the better option, but i could be wrong...

Ceramic would hold the power better, and have less chance of slipping, but you're gunna lose drivability.

For an N/A car with 150-160rwkw, an Extreme HD clutch should be ok..

Well, it becomes like a button, so to speak. The car is either going, or stationery. There's a friction point, but it's not as gradual as a standard clutch. Once it grabs, it grabs.

I see, thanks for explaining that for me. Is the more puk better or the less puk better?
