Good morning, hope everybody’s been having a good weekend so far. For a street, non-racing, car at what point do you need to use an alternative clutch/pressure plate to deal with increased engine horsepower?
Anything above a 2056? If need it is Kennedy where to go to for that stuff? Thanks! |

I installed a 2.0 six flywheel on my 2.7 six conversion and used a stock 2.0 914-4 clutch which is the same as the 2.0 six. I was pushing around 210 with the webers headers, etc. with no slippage. That includes up and down hills in San Francisco. So your 2056 should be fine.
