Default OBX LSD and new clutch

Alright, so I did a ton of reading on the obx lsd issue and I think I'm going to buy one. It seems like the issues that they had in the past with the axles and the case have been resolved. I read around and found nothing but good things that were said about them from first hand users. Supposibly it is the same exact lsd as the qualife sp.? The only thing is that it's close to $400 cheaper.

Second part of the post- I'm looking at getting around 400-450whp out of my upcomming engine build. I was thinking about going with an ACT-HC5-HDSS Clutch, and an ACT streetlite flywheel. Rated at 283ft.lbs. Anyone have anysuggestions on a different clutch?

Comments are appreciated.

i think with 400+whp you will get more than 283ft lbs of torque out of the car

alright, thanks for the input. I did quite a bit of research on Hondatech and someone bought one in 2005 I believe and tore it all apart and took pictures and everything that was supposiblymessed upwasn't at all. But yes I'd love to hear from you about it. I plan to take my engine and tranny out sometime this comming month. A little earlier than planned... I'll post in the general civic talk to explain more.

I dont know if your going to like a light flywheel when your making 400 whp. Just my 2 cents. Action clutches are nice also.
