Default Clutch recommendations for more power?

Gonna be running around 520whp and hopefully 450wtq so I know absolutely nothing about clutches or anything with a trans in general. I did some research around here but im still kinda confused as to what I should get. Basically I think I need a clutch that can handle the torque? Thats pretty much all I know I need. Since I am replacing the clutch I guess I should also put in a lighweight flywheel. While the trans is down, is there anything else that I would need or would be a good idea to add? maybe a CSC delete kit since those go bad???? Honestly not to sure. Thanks!

Talk to Joe @ Zspeed. I personally run a Zspeed kit, a Stage 3 clutch with CMAK which moves the slave cylinder out of the bell housing, and it handles 506whp/440wtq nicely.

Definitely take your time to do some research first. If you plan on putting that much power down Competition Clutch Stage 3 segmented ceramic clutch kit with Competition Clutch light weight steel flywheel would be up to the task. www.lmperformance.com Get the CMAK from Z Speed you will be glad you did don’t get stranded in the middle of no where like I did. It is only a matter of when will your Genuine Nissan OEM CSC fail? Ask Joe he is knowledgeable and has contributed a lot to the Z community thank you again for your service Joe. www.zspeed.com
