How much HP/TQ can the Stock Clutch take ?

 

I was at around 325 rwhp and 830tq for a long time with a stock clutch. I did NOT tow at all. Just depends on how hard your gonna beat on things.

 

that's the most important factor... eventually, you will over power the clutch but if you're not doing 3rd gear hard launches and don't mat the throttle every chance you get, you can make a stocker work for mild upgrades.

 

I was over 350 HP with the stocker and never was able to really slip it...but it was used up when I had to do a tranny change at 140k so I went with a SB...

 

At 400+hp, I didn't think it was slipping at all.......until I took it out and noticed it was blue from all the heat. Sometimes things only slip a little and get really hot.
The SB 3850 DD takes care of things now.

My truck did 390/918 on the stock clutch (suspiciously overcorrected numbers, but still...).

Mine sorta felt like it was slipping, but when I yanked it to put in the FE, there was no evidence of overheating..

It would hold enough to push my stock charger to 38psi..

Same numbers for an AUTO?

 

no.

I tow about 15,000 with my truck and im pretty rough on my clutch, i like to get on it alot, and i havent had any problems with it slipping and ive had it for 2 years.

 

I have just a 10 plate and you could drive it alright but horsen around I smoked mine. Then I put a full feramic in then my problems went away.

 

Where did you buy your clutch from ?

BTW, got pics of your truck ??

 

My stock clutch slipped some when I tried a smarty and I lugged it a bit.

 

Mine will slip if you matt it in 4th or 5th right off the hop,but if you gradually bring it up I can still get 45 psi out of a stock turbo.All I have is a smarty and drag comp.But it has gotten worse gradually and doesnt hold like it used to.Im probably at 330 hp

 

I got up to 370hp and 839tq on the stocker it held pretty good, it slipped a few times in 5th when i pushed it. I was pretty nice to it because i know it was on borrowed time.

 

Your not supposed to talk about them on here But I got mine from valair. Alot of people use southbend on here but I am tight with money and they are pricey.

I've got some pics in my profile I don;t have updated one's right now. I wish I had the leather seats like yours.
