Get the GMPP, you don't need a four puck and this will hold more power than you'll make on any supercharger.

GMPP should be more than sufficient. However, if you plan on tracking the car or taking it to the strip and even going with more power down the road, give yourself some room to work with.

I ran a SPEC stage 2+ in my SS/SC. Pedal was a little more firm than the stock clutch but not overpoweringly firm and was still fairly comfortable to use in traffic. My old SS/SC put down over 300 on TVS, meth, bolt ons and a few other goodies and I used to track it. The weak point in my car was the axles and I kept it as such. Axles are cheap compared to trannies and clutches.

Little word of advice, if changing the clutch, also replace the flywheel, throw out bearing and clutch master cylinder. If you don't replace everything you may run into issues.

A 4 puck would be an absolutely terrible idea, particularly at your power level. As others have said, a GMPP clutch would be more than enough and it's by far the best bang for your buck. That clutch hold gobs more power than most give it credit for.

Because there's no real answer that can be given. ****, I remember way back when I got my TVS they were still really new and not a lot of people were tuning them. People got pissed off because they wanted a bolt on mod that would yield over 300hp. To get numbers it takes a lot of work. Most people, probably to this day don't see 300hp on a TVS with a 3.1 pulley and basic bolt ons.

I never pullied down on the TVS and with a lot of work was able to get over the 300hp mark with it. But don't be focused on numbers. Hp numbers mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

GMPP is the clutch for the m62 or TVS LSJ.

Dont worry about anything else unless you know you are going big boost turbo or adding nitrous.

You have to look at what your overall goal is. Spray is cheap. I will never run a car of mine on the bottle.

But you are you and I am I. Two different people and I can't tell you how to modify your car.

And you think $2300 is expensive for a "minimal" gain? heh.

Not to hijack your thread but I have a 2015 STi Limited on order. And do I ever have plans for that. Just a taste: GT35R Rotated Turbo Kit with supporting mods. When all is said and done I am looking at well into the $10,000 range for gains starting at around 150 awhp. You gotta pay to play buddy.
