Found the limits of the stock clutch
So my stock clutch was good until about 350whp and then started slipping on the dyno. I know that the ACT pressure plate and stock disk seem to be quite popular on here but will it hold in the 350+ range?
I have been looking at the Exedy hyper single and Clutch Master stg 3 segmented kevlar clutch with a Spoon flywheel as alternatives. I had the CM before and I really liked it, just not sure it is up to the task.
What are the 350+ whp guys and gals running? I want something that will hold the power and do not mind a bit harsher engagement. I would also like to stay below $2000 are there any other options?
Thanks!

I had 320 whp and was runing with the stock clutch without problems. Since I have a stock differential, I prefer a slippry clutch than a broken diff.
If you go with a stongre clucth remember that your next weak point is the diff.

Not to worried about breaking stuff, I don't really launch the car and I run ~3.5psi daily. Just need it for the "just in case" scenario. You never know when you will run into a fast car that is begging for a whooping

Spec Stage 3 clutch is awesome. It will hold at least 400 lbft of tq but they claim 492. $577 at MVPmotorsports.com
