Stock Clutch HP limit

Just wondering if anyone is getting 350WHP and if the stock clutch can hold it? Just need to see if I need to order one with my stuff or not. Please no guessing.

Hell, from listening to people ***** you would think the HP limit of the stock clutch is 225 HP

If you baby the living **** out of it, you could get it to last a while at 350 WHP....but not very long. And why would you want to have 350 WHP and not be able to use it because of the clutch?

if you plan on launching the car you will need to order a clutch. I would recommend removing the restrictor and changing the line to SS as well. Just remember your going to be feeding the drivetrain alot more wear and tear don't be surprised if sometihng lets go

Great and thanks for the feedback. I am looking at the Exedy twin to use and I think that will hold the HP as a few here have been using it with pretty good results.

Cool man, this is the way to go, Twin plate clutch can hold the 450-500hp you are lookinh for. About the stock clutch, there is no exact number how much it can hold, it is up to you how you are driving the car at the most part, if you are launching it everyday it will go pretty quick. The hyper single clutch from Exedy can hold 350-400hp, and it usually replaces the stock clutch, so I will think that your stock clutch will hold the 350hp you were talking about.

Thanks

Andy
