Default How much power can a Competition clutch Stage 3 clutch??

I've been running a competition clutch stage 3 (segmented kevlar) clutch. It seems to be holding fine at 360 rwhp and 325 rwtq on wastegate boost (10 lbs) on my w58. But I'm planning on turning up the boost and aiming for around 400-420 RWHP/TQ.

Anyone know if this clutch will hold?

I would like to take a stab at this, and say yes, it will hold. I think any great name brand clutch will hold at that power without issues, but drifting might be a little diffrerent. For every now and again, i would say without a doubt. I wouldnt advise pushing the W58 much pass the 400 torque, it starts getting iffy...

At your proposed ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ boost this transmission will have the life expectancy of a gerbil on a treadmill sorry but true, especially if you truly drive the car

Why don't you just call Comp Clutch and ask them?
