Call SPEC clutches. I got a couple of them and I've been using them for
the last year on the race car. They bolt in, but you can get them
lightened. They offer "stages", but the stage one clutch is good for 200
HP. They are not cheap, but they appear to be a quality part.

I got the company info from Fidanza when I was looking for a clutch.
I ran the B&B HD clutch for 5 seasons and I only switched to SPEC because
I changed to a C/R gearbox and that uses a different clutch disk, so
changing the whole shebang made sense. My motor isn't too strong (maybe
150 HP flywheel HP) so if your motor is stronger, you might want to think
about the stage 2 setup.
