Best Clutch option for 500HP

I am wondering what options folks have used for replacement clutches. I have a stock car and I want to chip it for a max of 500HP, and I don't want to increase the pedal pressure or put in a noisy clutch. Quiet, and a light pedal for me.

Is the clutch in teh x-50 differnt than stock?

Any suggestions based on cost and quality?

Mine is an X50 & when i replaced it I didn't see a difference between the stock one.

Go with the GT3 RS & LWF Combo from Ultimate moterwerks, like stock but
more clamping force. its also good up to 700 hp.

from what I ehar the best kit is UMW or Imagine Auto stage 2 sachs kit. At a sweet price of 1895. I'm sure the UMW is much liek my Imagine Auto stage 2 package with LWFW capable of 650hp crank. So a fvd stage 2 program and this clutch would be a sweet match at 500 WHP.

So I agree with Tom! haha

You don't need to upgrade your clutch for 500HP unless it is already worn. The LWF is noisy.

yeah, you should change it for sure, the lwfw does increase noise levels so look for a clutch that works with the dual mass one. Maybe like caren242 has.

Dual mass make sure you got someone re surfacing it k? Don't have a hack sand it and put it back.
