How much horsepower can the stock clutch handle? I am about 330 to the wheels with plans to do more mods this summer. Should i replace the stock clutch or stick tot he OEM? Thanks to all who reply.

well does it slip on a hard 2-3 upshift. my stock one did ( you can tell a slip, it sounds kind of liek a tire chrip but from up near the frnt)

i hear some good stuff about the spec clutches. i have a centerforce DF now. it's ok i used too love it but now it's slipping 2-3 powershift again.

I would suggest changing out the clutch. I've heard centerforce makes some good ones, but i think i would suggest a stage 3 clutch from steeda. Pretty heavy duty, but if you're gonna be in there changing the clutch, you might as well put in the best one you can get your hands on. They all should have HP ratings and for you i would suggest looking for one that supports up to 500 hp.

The clutch grabs like it is new. I just wanna know if there is a specific amount of HP they can take before they go.
