The clutch on our Subaru EJ22 bus is a Sach's. Seems ok for now, plenty of drag racing.

Sachs is a very good road clutch and the pressure plate runs at about 1450lb
Which is not all that shabby, and would be good for 150hp or a little more if you were nice to it. But if you want to race the car you would be better
off with a puck clutch. They normally come in 3 type 6,4,3 puck configurations the 6 puck is the more driveable and the 3 will have the less slip. If
you plane on using a puck clutch then go with the Kennedy clutch and pressure plate. Kennedy pressure plates come in stages and you would need to talk
to someone how knows what you need in terms of what you want. Remembering that Kennedy pressure plate start at 1750lb in 200mm. We sell, race and
drive on them both, so if you want an unbiased opinion give us a call
