Default Stock clutch HP ratings.

I feel like i'm getting to the end of the line for the amount of HP and Torque my stock clutch can take. I've got about 15,000 miles on the clutch and flywheel. I have a Stillen stage 4 SC. It doesn't put out a whole lot in comparison to other FI, but i think i should be somewhere in the 300ish whp range with it. I've had no clutch issues what so ever. But i'm trying to plan ahead if needed.

Am i ok with these type of #s??

Your fine. Should hold up to ~400WHP as long as you're not hitting the drag strip constantly.

Mine has held my N20 setup for the last 6 months at around 370/440Tq. I usually go thru a bottle a week too.


Just recently though my clutch fluid bottle is low....a sign maybe of wear?

Transmission, clutches, driveshafts, diffs, and half shafts are rate in torque not HP.

I guessed because i've never dynoed it. And i didn't feel like all the Stillen haters jumping down my throat for claiming higher numbers then are realistic. LOL

My butt dyno tells me stage 4 is significantly above stock torque, although probably not up to the same levels as other kits.
