How much power can a stock clutch hold? - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

I've done a lot of research but can't seem to come with anything. When I bought the car (with a blown tranny) I was just going to fix it and sell it, but after I drove it I decided to keep it. So now I have a supra pump, aem fpr, super 15gs, test pipe, gutted cats, etc. (turbs arn't installed yet) and I have a stock clutch (with about 3,000 on it and a kormex tranny). I'm looking to put down about 400awhp, can a stock clutch handle that?

If your planning on racing the car, or just driving it hard daily, probably not. I would look into a South Bend or RPS stage 2 or 3 depending on how much more your planning on modding it. I currently just installed a South Bend stage 3 DXD clutch in my Stealth and love it, grabs way better than stock, and will handle close to 500awhp. But to answer your question its probably only a matter of time before you toast the stock clutch if your making 400awhp. Also if you do upgrade I would stick with the stock flywheel, they last and are better than a lot of after market ones.
