How much HP is the OEM clutch designed to hold? And at how much HP should you start looking to upgrade your clutch?

 

HP isn't what makes clutches go out, TQ does.

 

x2

 

Its a good question and I would also like to know how much TQ can it handle before an upgrade

 

I have heard 400awhp is about max for a OEM clutch, but that is if the clutch is in good shape!! But I could be wrong!!

Driver skill has something to do with it also

 

150 ft lbs of tq on a stocker

atleast that is what it seems like

 

I have double that and my clutch is not slipping.

 

Not much the stock clutch is made to slip to protect the TC

 

I had 350WHP/343 TQ on my stock one was fine till 23K

 

mine seemd to go out after i got my dynoflash also have ( mbc tbe intake) hmm wonder y

 

Thanks guys for the info.. Let me know if you get an actual HP/TQ rating.. thanks

 

same here....25k miles, no problems.

 

Last time i dyno'd i put down 368wtq and i have about 35k on my stock clutch and it is still holding strong. I will let you guys know how much mine actually takes after i put some more things on my car here very soon. I have been curious as well as to how much it will take before going out.
