it doesnt really matter what the awhp numbers are, it all depends on how much torque you're putting to the flywheel. If you can get the torque #'s your putting down then you can look at the specific holding/clamp load of all the pressure plates offered by every company.
Just curious on what type of setup your looking for?? ie - single disc, twin disc, etc.... Whats your budget like??? Is the car a dd or just a weekend racer???
imo, if this is your dd going w/ a twin disc (exedy or tilton-rebuildable) is probably your best route if you have the $$$; if your car is mainly a weekend track car and you dont mind the harsh engagements/chatter going w/ a heavy clamping pressure plate like ACT w/ puck style race disc would be probably also be more than enough. It all comes down to what your goals are for the car
sorry this was so long, hope it helped

I dont know if anyone else has noticed but the tilton clutches should be avoided like the plague. There are like six people on this board that killed them in less than a few months. There is a car next door that killed one in one month. And tilton is giving him em a hard time saying its installation error. I inspected the clutch myself and it was installed correctly. They havent got the metallurgy on the spline correct and they are stripping out. Sometimes the splines on the tranny get fubar too. Real nitemare, so beware.
This does not apply to there carbon carbon clutch. they are the cats meow.

wow, good memory. That was the original exedy twin. And yes, it did.
but at this point i am out of options and i am going to try an exedy again. I've heard nothing but good things about this clutch.
i am pretty sure an exedy twin HD will be able to hold 500 ft/lbs or torque.
