Maybe, I mean maybe 350ish dynojet if u don't beat on it and launch a lot. But u really should have searched there are tons of threads on here about this. I'm sure this thread will be closed.

Your going to get a lot of answers. It all comes down to how you drive the car. I made 427ft-lbs/500whp on the stocker for a while with the BBK just fine. When removed by ER at 12k miles the clutch was still brand new looking. But I dont launch the car (but a few times) - those are all freeway pulls/miles. That kind of power launching a few times will dom the stock clutch pretty quick. Ahh nothing feels as nice as the stock clutch though, so nice and silky smooth

I've been on the stock clutch since day 1. 37k on it now, made 341/320 93 pump for a while, then 380/380 93+meth, then now 425/446 on E-85. Only been launched once, don't really go crazy and slam through the gears. She still holding strong.

Ever since I started making 310 dyno dynamics (I don't know , 350 ish dynojet? Im not sure how it compares) I started having slight problems on full boost, which has now translated into a fully slipping clutch. I've never launched the car, and I don't even beat on it with freeway pulls or anything - so i'm assuming it was a pre-existing issue brought on by the power increase.

Thanks for sharing Guys...
Well,i hardly launch at all....Just normal driving and speeding once a while...

350whp is about the max. If your not making much more than that, don't buy a puck clutch disc. The drivability is not great. James

I've got 42K miles on the stock clutch. Never been launched and holding 370 ft-lbs and 410 whp DJ. I got WOT almost every day, mostly in 1st-3rd, sometimes in 4th, never in 5th-6th (don't mind if the clutch can't handle it, but I do mind the $4K repair bill if my 6-speed takes a crap from the torque).

Mine started slipping at about 323, I really wouldn't recommend taking it any higher than that!
