How much power can this clutch hold?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33730

If I go single and keep it around 300rwhp, is this clutch good enough for the job?

That looks much like the OE clutch -- the OE clutch is also made by Exedy. Yes, it will hold 300RWHP. And if you're going single, why would you only shoot for 300RWHP? That can be done with stock twins.

Don't get that clutch.

Get the ACT HD-00, street/strip clutch. Amazing clutch, you will love it, and it will hold up to ~300 ft/lbs torque (which is how clutches are rated) in my experience.

Don't be cheap, get an ACT S/S clutch. Cheap = broken when dealing with a majority of parts for this car. Anything having a problem in the clutch area will most likely end up leaving you stranded waiting on a tow truck.

Have you had any problems with the longevity of those clutches. I am pretty easy on clutches..I think...and last time my motor was out mine was getting a little worn. How many miles do they last?

Mine lasted through over 50,000 miles of abuse (hard street driving, over 100 passes down the quarter, and about 10 road race events) and still had some meet on it when I switched to the Spec sprung 6 puck. I highly recommend the ACT.
