350whp is what at the Flywheel?

I'm looking to get a clutch that suits my HP so I have been told to find out what my flywheel HP is.

My WHP is about 350 so what does that make my Flywheel TORQUE
Thanks All

Looking at ACT and OEM

I would highly recommend getting this clutch. Perfect for daily driving and gives you plenty of room if your going to mod more. Great price too from us

Clutches are rated for torque, not power. it's your flywheel torque you'll want then.

440 is the number I'm looking to be under or over

Rough estimate; multiply your wheel hp/torque by 1.15 to get flywheel hp/torque.

This is horrible advice, and I wish people would stop blindly suggesting a product since it effectively leads to prices climbing, and people unknowingly taking your suggestion without researching (though that's on them).

Moreover... I know you guys are just looking at estimates of course, but WHP and crank HP are two VERY different things.

Because there's no need for a twin disk at 350whp/350wtq when you can get a much more streetable clutch than that that will hold the torque just fine.

So is this 350whp on a dynojet? 350whp on a mustang? 350whp on the butt dyno?
350whp would put his w trq closer to the 400 mark...
Are there any plans to mod the vehicle further and make more power?
