well i got the stage 3 clutchnet 6 puck so we shall see. i figure just take off slow out of the hole then kick it in 2nd through 4thand see what happens.

 

not sure how much it will hold.. i wont know till i get there.

I got a reduced price.. but i remember they were cheap in comparison. This clutch is a lot grippier then all the other clutches i have ever had.

How much do those E6Xs cost?

 

e6x is about 1000... its an ECU btw.


The clutchnet clutch is actually holding fine in vipers car. Hes pushing dam near or over 400 now. He has the stage 3 i believe.

 

They never told you how much power it would hold when you bought it?

 

a clutch is/should be rated in torque (lbs/ft) not HP

 

^^^ true on the torque part but it takes power to make torque and most people like the bottom line number which is horse power so thats why it is discussed that way.

most clutches say stage whatever for the amount of clamping force or torque capacity so in essence a stage 3 should be 300ft/lbs max torque or clamping force. depending on the company and how they rate it.

act gives a percentage over stock so take the stock torque and add whatever percentage they say.

then when you do the math for however much hp it takes to get to whatever ft/lbs of torque then you can decide on which clutch to get.

 

yeah, but searching for clutches by horsepower is not the right way of doing it. clutches shouldnt even be advertising a max hp, because it is a very estimated statement. buy a clutch rated for 250hp for a honda, and then buy one rated for 250hp for a ford bronco. if the clutch is rated for 250ft/lbs but not specified, then it will be fine on the honda, but will shatter in seconds on the bronco.

unless the clutch company has done dyno testing on the each car they have designed the clutches for, then they shouldnt advertise hp numbers at all. most of them dont dyno test on cars either. they just know what the torque capacity is of their design through a universal machine made just to test the clutch. to get a hp number they can just "guess" where the torque will be made and then post that up everywhere. im going to assume the general rpm number is a constant for a bunch of 4 cylinders too.

bottom line, look at torque, not hp. those hp numbers mean nothing next to a torque number, and if they dont have a torque number, i wouldnt touch it.
