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! |

Depends on how hard you are on the clutch, in theory you could have a LS6 with a stock clutch and if you drive like gramps it will last forever.
I have 2.6 T4 with 180hp in my bug with a a stock clutch, 911 disc and I cut the 2nd step an extra .010", I've never been easy on the clutch. About 25K miles on it and it's just starting to slip if I really honk on it. My 3.0 /6 has a 228mm stage 1 bus PP. |
