      Clutches are rated in torque capacity, not horsepower.

        Go with DXD/South Bend Clutch kevlar kit. Clutch will last you a long time and hold down as much power you will ever throw at it or until you blow up your engine.

          i loved the dxd stage 4 I have in z. its easy to drive and holds anything i put it through. although, i did find downshifting smoothly with a heavy clutch to be a little more finnicky. maybe when it starts to burn in a bit more it would be easier.

            the stage 3 daily is rated at 530 ft/lbs. i wouldnt be running extremely sticky tires. it would also probably make a few passes on the strip. anyone use the dxd stage 3 daily? it will be through an na trans.

              That's what I run, at least before they changed the lineup of the staging names. I love it. Not to hard on the pedal, smooth engagement. Clutch does make a hissing noise as it is slipping when starting off in 1st or reverse since it has the feramic disc.

                better than the throw out bearing whine in my d21, what is done to your motor and about how much power are you making
