If your doing all that AND already have the tranny out with intentions on installing twins, why not just put a clutch in it now??? Would that not be easier to do, with the trans out and being swapped than if you put it in, drive it for a couple months and burn the clutch, then have to pull it back out again????

Going the way your talking about just sounds like more future work to me.

Realy it all depends on how its treated and how its been treated, rather its been lugged a lot etc. But for those mods its going to be hard to get to play much on a stocker

Clutches see tq, not hp.


Your stock clutch might hold 1000hp bolted to a turbo ricer.

My stocker held 375hp on the dyno, and I went over 3 years over 350hp before mine let go.

Only when I went to a 150hp injector with the smarty AND went to low elevation could I slip it.

Driving style matters a bunch.
