x2 with what aLmk said. Stock clutch is fine. Sooooo many people change their clutch without real reason other than they want a stage 4 blah blah.

It's a real issue IMO. Why da faq does a 220 whp car need a stage 4 clutch? Now you look retarded trying to drive it and your car is still slow. Stock or a Stage 1 would have been fine.

Most people shoot for 400 or just over 400whp which puts you at about 300wtq or a bit under.

Stock clutch tq rating- 139
CM fx350- 139*110%= 152.9 wtq holding ability
CM fx400- 139x170%= 236.3wtq holding
CC stage 4 - 139*250%=347.5wtq holding
CCstage 5- 139*300%= 417wtq holding

I agree that buying a clutch that is over rated for your power is dumb. But getting one that is made for the power you produce isn't, slipping your clutch after you spend 6k on building your car is stupid.

I tried to run my stock clutch as long as possible, it lasted 4 months with the SC + AC/3in pulley and 1 month with ****ty all season tires. As soon as i got tires that actually hooked pretty well the clutch started slipping and i couldn't even continue tuning, its a very annoying set back.

I have a feeling those clutch ratings are on the conservative side since so many are using them outside of their tq holding ability.

Stock clutch here. 20k miles @ 300 hp.

Stock clutches can't not handle heat as good as a puck style. Hence why a lot of people go to one for running slicks or drag radials. Stock will hols the power per say but not the abuse!

Women suck after they marry! Most women would love to be a stay at home wife. Mine complains about the duties she has to do. Its very frustrating to me. Granted your only hearing my side but I don't think I am asking to much to have the house clean, make dinner and take car of the little one.

Horsepower means nothing to a clutch. You have under 200tq. The stock clutch holding a bit more power is understandable. I ran my stock one with 320ish/200tq when I was SC'ed. The stock clutch will slip on a good turbo build. Lots of people ran the stock clutch and all of them slip it. It might still work but if you spend that much you might as well get the power to wheels.

I can agree with this, that yes it can technically hold the power, at least most of it. But its not nearly as effective. And eventually the stock clutch will go out...why not save the time and money and do it from the start?

Guessing your wife doesn't work then? If not then i could understand your requests of her taking care of things around the house!
