Besides super dooper mercury converting triple mass outboard paddle kaleidoscopically ecu controlled clutches, what from the range of 850's can take sum serious power? (for an 850 t5?)

Isn't the R clutch more uprated that the standard T5 one?

I'm sure I read it somewhere

I changed over to an 850 SM flywheel on my s70 and now use a 850R clutch. The car was dyno'd at 375lb/ft torque. The previous standard T5 clutch (and reletively new)started slipping as soon as it was mapped. What sort of power/torque are you aiming for?

What turbo you gonna use? I'm hoping to get up to the near the 350hp mark, once the k24 turbo, ported head, etc.. is on. And i'm keeping my fingers crossed that the clutch will hold. If it doesn't then some sort of uprated clutch will be the only way, but I don't want anything thats an arse to drive with.
