I was wondering how much power can a stock clutch on an evo8 hold? thanks

I'm still running the stock clutch.

It easily holds 350whp, provides 1.6 - 60ft times, and has put the car in the 11s on a mild tune.

The only thing it hasn't liked is a hard launch on R-compound tires. When doing that it just slips. On normal street tires it will cause wheel spin.

 

how many miles does your stock clutch have so far?

 

around the 400 mark expect your clutch to go quick..

its easier to save the troubble and just get a new one

 

I only have 11k miles..... but they are all track miles. Furthermore.... my 03 with 380whp and 30k still had the original stock clutch in it as well.

Considering it didn't like launching with sticky tires I would agree that 350whp is about the upper range of its holding capability.

 

cool thanks for the info appreciate it!

 

Is it possible to get 400 whp off an 06 stock clutch?

 

dont launch it and it will be fine! I made 550 and the clutch held fine from a roll. But when you launch it at the strip on on the street it will go really quick.

 

I believe they had the same clutch.

 

my stock clutch on a bone stock evo lasted 3800 miles

 

^ha!

 

I'm at 322whp at over 25k and my stock clutch is fine. I want to go to 400 but I do not feel like up grading the clutch yet so that's why I asked. Thank's for the help.

 

Stock clutch can handle the HP. But applying torque in higher gears and launching will kill it immediately if near the 400WHP level

 

my stock clutch has 70k and still holds pretty well

 

STill on stock clutch. No issues. I'm making around 360-70 on low reading mustang dyno. It's holding well. I'm debating upgrading to an Exedy twin to start going to strip though.
