Clutch choice

[Thieme]

Since i am going to put a lightweight flywheel and some cams into my car soon i am looking into changing the clutch at the same time. I hope to be pushing 110 HP so for safe measure i would like a proper clutch.
Problem is i would probably really hate having an on/off race/paddle clutch since it is my daily so i am kinda hoping you guys can advice me in a good clutch that can bring the power down but is still smooth to operate.

Brands that where advised to me so far are LUK and Panther. Does anyone have experience with those arround the 100 or higher HP mark?

Thanks in advance

I'm very busy at work frank

neway, I once used a Jun ultra light fly with a stock clutch & PP and handled the 92bhp/85ftlb with janspeed system and PAS

when I began turbo'ing, needed to handle 160ftlb. helix paddle clutch was the same dia and says can handle 180ftlb and Solarice had one so tried his car and was surprisingly normal

so I got the 180mm helix paddle clutch and PP from matt humphris

didn't skim the jun flywheel when I was suppose to, so it didn't bed properly and just bout handled 160ftlb but not for long when I glazed it on track.
pressure is moderate and sometimes in traffic it may shudder slightly but most times it engages normally. easy to stall a light flywheel

nowadays I run a proper 200mm helix organic clutch to guarantee it'll hold.

I am sorry for that when i was first typing up the post i just wanted to know more about the panther (sport) clutches which i used the search function for and found nothing. But then i changed my mind typed up the current post and posted it without thinking.
I am still interested to see if anyone has experience with the panther clutches even tho i know that i can safely use the LUK ones

Its ok the results to your questions are buried in long blogs. Just proves the popularity of clutches
Everyone has a different question and a different reason for asking
Panther clutches are a good make pretty on par with the national clutches. If you get a budget one. They do uprated ones too.
But value for money here suggest the LUK clutch

bear in mind though LUK changed their name, can't remember to what though
