Mine is "streetable" Not a clutch for a daily driver, but a car with enough power to demand a clutch like that isnt really a street car either.

yep if you put a 680hp rated clutch on a 400hp car its over kill, I have one for mine and love it paid $302 shipped to my house. Once I add my blower iut will see the real test since I'll be pushing around 550+rwhp.

I dont know for sure. Probably around 500RWHP??? possibly 225 for all I know, it has never been dynoed.
Both TEA and DSS told me to expect between 500-600RWHP, but I think their a little number happy with those figures. They know more about it than I do so I wont argue with them.

I wouldn't doubt it being in the 500ish rwhp range, thats all engine pretty wild cam, big carb. The key is the tune, you can pickup alot of power with an awesome tune.
