the higher % organic it is the mre bite it has.
also they can handle more pressure throuht the drive train

Ones mans description of a "racing" clutch could be another mans description of a crap one. I presume you are still talking about a single plate clutch utilising the standard flywheel?

Lets see the links/clutch you are intending to use and then we can advise better.

The FTO's clutch is really light.

Well - Its def not a "racing" clutch - I'd be surprised if it was better than OE to be honest.

Better off sticking to what we know is a good quality OE type clutch - http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... b0s12p7606

if you want a "racing" type clutch - see here - http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php? ... b0s12p7616

Adding a lightweight flywheel to either will help performance as well.
