Need a stronger clutch
Looking for a new clutch, mine is less than 10k old but is getting very hot when I'm giving the car some, which now I have a working supercharger is quite frequently 
I know there are threads full of clutch stuff but as it is subjective I wanted up to the minute opinions on what was good and what to avoid. So I'm looking for one that can handle quite a lot more torque than the standard clutch, I don't mind it being a little heavier but I would prefer to keep a stock feel to the engagement.
My CRX track car has a clutch that is no heavier than standard but it is either on or off, I couldn't handle this in a road car.

Nick had an f1 racing clutch on his he got from tegiwa, that's what I was going to use when I was putting the charger on my car as he rated it quite well

I've just fitted the act pressure plate with Oem disc. Feel is nice, like stock. Charger won't be fitted till this weekend so can't comment on how it handles the power but everything I've read says it can take it no problem

The clutch cover is the expensive bit,$460 I think?
If your in no rush I might have one for sale,I say might because I'm guessing the disc is knackered on mine.but I could be wrong.will find out maybe next week

Research mate. Everything I've read suggests it as the best combo that can take the power of the charger whilst retaining stock feel. Pressure plate was about 360ish, oem disc and release bearing 180 ish

I imported directly from the US and paid a lot less for the clutch plate.
