If anyone has experience with aftermarket clutches to hold the power of a tune, which one did you go with?

I'm leaning away from single-mass flywheels because of the noise and past reports of them tearing apart the syncros.

I see that sachs has a 4 puck DMF capable of 599lb ft and an organic DMF for 407lb ft. Any experiences?

What is the stock clutch capable of?

I just had the organic DMF 407+ ft/lb installed on Wednesday and I so far absolutely love it. I’ve had my tune off for some time since my stock clutch would just continue to slip. I turned it back on immediately.

I am only 80 miles in but once I’m in gear and above 1800k rpm, ive let it rip and it holds super well. Highly recommend so far.

I couldn’t find stock clutch numbers anywhere

Strongly second the organic disc setup from Sachs. It honestly drives like stock, buttery smooth engagement and more holding power than the CRUA is capable of. I have the sintered disc for my setup, and though it's not that bad, it's way less friendly to the DMF. Really wish there was some middle ground disc from them.
PS: don't you dare go SMF, seen too many people associate others' bad experiences to poor driving technique. It has nothing to do with driving style, the damage to the synchros is all done at idle or low speeds...nothing to do with shifting.
