If I'm bashing out an estimated 150bhp on my engine, would I need an uprated clutch and cover, or would an uprated clutch on its own take the 190Nm of torque, with the oem cover I have?

The standard one should be ok IMHO

The standard one is more than up to the job

I had to change mine as it slipped at 250 BHP 220NM, so standard should be OK

Standard clutch should be Fine

But this is a standard one taken from a 170 brake Pinto in a Westfield that went bang at Curborough sprint circuit
(Fair to say that the car is used to its full potential though )

We fitted an uprated AP version as a replacement and thats been fine

The thing is my clutch is an old stock one..... looks like an old asbestos milboard one and not organic, like the one shown. I don't mind getting a uprated clutch plate, but can't really afford an uprated clutch plate and an uprated clutch cover!
