what clutch can support 400rwhp?

My RWHP goals for my 88T2 is around 400 hp. What is the most streetable clutch I can buy to support this kind of power.
I will be driving this car on the street with some track days and some drag raceing. My biggest concern is for it to be streetable but something that won't break at the drag strip.


Thanks,

Mike

The guy that built my clutch said it would hold 500 flywheel hp. I got a sprung 4 puck, and its not too hard to drive once you get used to it. Only $300 for the clutch set too

Shouldn't we put on there how many foot/pounds of torque the clutch can hold, rather than how much horsepower it can hold?

ACT Pressure palte will do. We had a 1979 street RX-7 doing 413 rwhp running 10.79 1/4 mile and had the ACT installed. It is a very good choice...

I'm not sure what kind of torque I'll be making. I would guestimate ~380+ ft/lbs.

My set up will be TO4 on a street port 89+ motor with a haltech or AEM. And ofcourse all of the support hardware.
