Default tranny setup with boost

alright everyone. the 10lbs 378rwhp is boring me. i want to get above 400 and i don't want to drop the 6speed. what clutches are you guys using to get the numbers in the 5-speed? how many lbs you running and what numbers you getting. pm if you want

Good to see you back 'round here Arthur, feels like it's been awhile. The CM unit seems to be the way to go with the 5spd, whereas the RPS is much more common with the 6spd. Or you could swap in a built automatic with a nice converter and holeshot all your stick buddies, but of course you knew that .....

clutch masters seems to be a good choice. they have a carbon kevlar disc which is suppose to be pretty good. you don't want anything that is to harsh on engaugement because our 5 speed trans are not as strong as the 6 speed and can't take a beating. from what i've herd, if you beat on the 5speed with over 400 things start to break. im swaping the 2jz-gte in mine and to keep cost down im keeping my 5speed.

Mine has a kevlar disc I suspect is from CM. No good info on that it was installed previously. But the clutch does no squalling or slipping like the other clutch in the other 5speed I had.

P.S. How are you turning 378hp at 10psi?
