I don't think the excedy can hold that kind of power, but i've never tried. Try Jim Berry, or Xtreme, or UAS, they all have single plate clutches that should be able to hold that power. Should be around the $1000 mark, give or take...

i'm really interested in a jim berry clutch i want somthing that's drivable but can be used on the track say twice a year and on the drags every now and then.

so has anyone out there got a jim berry clutch with those specs and how much did it set you back??

Cheers

I,ve had a Jim Berry(Race Clutch) single plate for some time now,never had any drama,s holding 270rwkw.

I had him build it to hold over 300rwkw,(400rwhp)which is not too far away now.

Only had to adjust linkages above the pedal.Soft feel just like a standard clutch.

Jim knows his stuff!

Cost was somewhere around $600-800 i think?

I had a Direct Clutch hi torque 5 puck ceramic, lasted 7 months. The car has 300rwkw. Granted its in a heavy Autech wagon but you should start looking at a twin plate real quick. Like keetsy said, drop the word cheap, its not going to happen.

Power soon to be above the 400kw mark so I will let you know how it goes.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday.
