Tuned is probably the limit.

Just get a higher performance one for it. IDK what the best one is for the TC though, check around.

The HYper single has a VERY different pedal than the stock clutch. It is MUCH harder, and it doesnt get easier to hold when the pedal is all the way down....meaning you have to push with full force the whole time the clutch is down......its not a traffic friendly setup. combined with the light flywheel it really affects drivability in low speed stuff. If you drive a lot I would recommend the Spec 2+ over the Hyper.

honestly if ACT makes a "stg3" clutch fro the LNF Id suggest that....

Ive ran alot of clutches and for the money and performance you honestly cant beat a stg3 sprung 6 puck from ACT.....very user friendly and holds assloads of trq

Dead thread fred... but the Spec stage2+ is rated 437 ft/lbs. I forget the stage2 rating but it wasn't high enough for mine at ~380 ft lbs. Very streeable with the lightweight FW, but you can tell it'll die easier if you let it get under 800 rpm slipping it. Pedal is firmer than stock but still bearable in stop & go traffic. 400 miles on mine and I'm pleased with it.

If I can't get the hang of the clutch engaging closer to the floor on mine the ZZP rod will be on order. I've only had it a week now, (~400 mi) and no hard launches yet.

I bled it again tonight to make sure all the air is out of the new slave cyl, hopefully it will come up a bit on the engagement point. I got a few more bubbles out with the vac pump.
