better start thinking about a metal clutch or an organic twin.

I am searching for a clutch to hold my build right now too. I have heard much bad about the eClutchmasters clutches either being difficult and impossible to break in correctly, and starting to slip rather quickly. I personally need a new flywheel too, so I am going the sr20 replacement route, and will be using an sr20 flywheel and clutch kit, with either the stock ca18det starter, or an s12 unit. Apparently, they will fit fine with a little modding to the bell housing.

I have a KA 6 puck from ACT. Its rated at 426 FT/LBS. I'm sure that would hold fine.
