supspower Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Depending on how you drive id say standard TT power for a while. Depends also on the condition of your clutch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Torque, TORQUE for God's sake!! Clutches are rated by torque! A stock clutch would easily handle 700 plus BHP behind an F1 engine, which has sod all torque, relatively speaking. It's the torque figures that matter when rating clutches and transmissions.

steve spedd Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 so how much Torque are we talking Chris? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Most road car clutches will handle an extra 20% torque, albeit with reduced life and if in perfect overall condition. Drag starts and general abuse will DRASTICALLY reduce the life though. So whatever torque an N/A gives in stock form plus an absolute max of 20% with reduced life. This DOESN'T mean a 100,000 miler clutch and flywheel will take an extra 20% though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
