I have a V-8 car with 500 HP and the stock 930 OEM Sachs disc is starting to slip. I have the KEP Stage 1 930 pressure plate and was told that it would hold 550lbs of torque (with a stock disc). My engine puts out 470 ft. lbs of torque...so this set up should work according to KEP. However, it has only 9-10K miles on the stock disc and it's starting to go already. (Maybe that's about right...considering the amount of performance I have and my driving style?)
I am considering going to Clutchnet's Kevlar disc. Renegade swears by this type of disc for their high HP V-8 applications. I remember Scott telling me about how wonderful and streetable they are. Nice smooth OEM engagement and much higher torque holding capabilities...and long lasting durability to boot. He said that the Kevlar discs need to be broken in gently for approximately 500 miles. Anyone out there have a Kevlar disc in their car?...If so, how has it worked for you??? Thanks for the feedback! Bill Attached image(s)
