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! |

When I upgraded to a 3.2 I was forced to install a Kennedy adapter since the flywheel is 9 bolt. I bought the Kennedy adapter and stage 2 clutch directly from Kennedy Engineered Products. Much cheaper than anywhere else. The clutch was noticeably harder to push than stock 2.0, but I got used to it. I now run a 915 with clutch return spring and omega spring, so it’s a much better experience.
