Hmm not anywhere near strong enough. Anyone know if the 2.2 Cavy clutches will fit 2.4s?

My clutch held up to a beating with more then 224wtq. Since the 2.4 has the same F23 tranny, pick any clutch thats rated for the torque you want boosted. I would recommend like a Stage 2+ from SPEC. Stage 2+ is Stg2 w/ higher torque rating and Stg2 is rated for 300tq. I would say 2+ is good for about 350tq but has the same drivability as Stg2. I havent heard of anyone putting anything higher then a SPEC Stage 1 clutch on our cars, so i dunno how fitment and drivability are.

Why George, for what reason would you need a clutch for a boosted 2.4?

If you're looking to make the same power as Dan's car I would look into the Spec 3+. Take Wes' car for a drive sometime, you'll get an idea of how smooth it is, but it still has a high torque rating.
