How much power can the Stock clutch hold?

[Turbo Kyle]

Just wondering how long the clutch is going to last on about 8-10 Psi? Im going to start Fabbing the Kit this weeked.

I don't think so, I have a 2000 Camaro and the stock clutch is going out at 24k miles, I got it las year in may with only 10.5k miles. That clutch will no hold up to the extra power if you like to warm up the tires a little. If you shift easy and don't spinn em then it may last a few thousand miles.

First time at the track my clutch went and I was running 7psi.

And Whats the best one to use? Spec 5?

Eh, mine didn't handle low 14's at high 90's, it would slip at the top end, and would slip under tons of boost. A spec 3 handled it like whoa, and felt stockish. (put it in myself)

The Spec 5 for our cars is only a little more money and should hold some good power.

if your already burning up a new stock clutch after 10.5 k miles..then you need to relearn how to drive stick.

i went 76k on my stock clutch.. now i got spec 3

My stock clutch wouldn't hold more than 7psi, but at the time the turbo went on, it had like 90k miles on it.

A stage 5 is a bit much for a street driver. I know there are stories about so and so who drives x miles on their stage 5 every day, but you just don't need it. a stage 3 will hold plenty of power, and is a bit more streetable. My stage 3 ceramic is awesome, and has no problems handling whatever i throw at it.

How much did the Spec 3 cost ya?

My car made 419ft lbs for about 4months, then the clutch went out about 2 weeks later the transmission went out.

Stage 5.. I cant imagine the chattering that would do.. Yeah stage 3 all the way.. I love mine.. It shifts hard and feels like a stock clutch but I dislike the chatterring..

[T-Punk]

stage 5 is way overkill imo. the stage 3 is capbale of handling the power but isnt to outragious for the street. i have an auto and i know that :D .

[Razzer]

hehe, yeah I like to let the smoke outta the tires every once in a while. LOL I have a open diff with 3.08's so the torque fights the clutch a little more, plus I have 255/50r16 Tires that grip much better.

My stock 60k mile clutch wouldnt hold my NA power, much less a turbo.

my spec 3 costed the same price as it does now on websites.
