Don't get a twin carbon, that's a bit overkill. Get a single for normal use. OS Giken single is 1100ish.

SCing doesn't generally add that much more tq which is what most clutches are rated for. JWT organics usually hold up to stock block SCing. I guess it's up to you how much clutch you need.

I am sure that you know there is a pretty major difference between "can" and "should". You certainly "can" opt for a clutch that has a higher capacity than you need and you "can" spend tons of money doing so. Based on your planned output a single disc would be a fine option. I suggest a hybrid or full-faced disc (which will provide better drivability and increased torque capacity). For instance a Stage 2+ (this unit utilizes a segmented Kevlar face on one side of the disc and a carbon-semi-metallic face on the other side) or a stage 3+ (which uses a full-faced CSM face on both sides) would easily provide you with plenty of capacity for boost while having a much lower cost than an un-needed multi-disc.

If you go the route of a single disc then you can choose to use either a steel flywheel (which will better dampen and thus lessen the amount of gear-noise transmitted by the transmission) or a lighter aluminum flywheel which will save wait and greatly improve both the increase and decrease of RPM while allowing the car to put more power to the wheels.

Of course, I recently installed our SN35SST which is [art of our Super-Twin line of offerings and it too is rated to 800 lb-ft. at the crank. If you choose to go this route make sure you get a kit that is fully rebuildable. I suggest this because there is nothing like dropping a few thousand dollars on a Carbon based clutch kit only to have it wear out and be faced with buying another one. Our Super-Twin's are completly rebuildable and upgradable. I have provided a link to the page below. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks...www.specclutch.com.

Rookie is absolutely correct here. This is why I suggested you look at single disc as well. And OS Giken is awesome too, equally as good as Carbonetic. Either brand will be perfect.

I only went with twin disc for future build up. Last clutch I'll ever need (fingers crossed).

Update

My G is at a friends shop (they do good quality work and have been doing it for 30 years, and i know he will be honist with me and wont screw me) it will be $1300 for the “standard” clutch and $1500 for the "High Performance clutch"

Q: what the hell is the difference between the "standard" and "high performance"? Is it worth a $200 difference in price?

Q: will I need a Flywheel?

If I get the clutch + flywheel it will be $2400

Thanks,
-Wes

Standard and high performance what? Is he talkin about the OEM setup? That there is supposedly two option for an OEM setup?

And FYI, I paid 550 for clutch and flywheel install.
