I drove a few thousand miles on my stock clutch behind the BP at 130+HP and no problems.

I've got about 3K miles on my BP with stock clutch... wouldn't recommend it for racing or anything, but it holds fine

just listen to the expert

My clutch holding up great to 6K rpm shifts, holeshots, etc with my b6.

You need a little slip if you are running high hp and torque, you dont wanna break stuff with the torque.

but jeo, doesn't slipping wear out the clutch soon?

Sorry but I'll take a stronger trans before counting on my clutch to slip to save parts.

6k rpm shifts? Is this with a b6 dohc? I have around 95-100hp in my festiva and planning to upgrade it to around 120hp the most.. I am from the Philippines and there are no available performance parts here.. so if the stock clutch holds then I will be very happy..

my b6 sohc car spins up in a blink of the eye to fuelcutoff.6200rpm i think?

runs pretty strong, but its getting old to me quick, i need a dohc turbo.. heh

im using the stock clutch... from a BP escort

sadly enough, thats actually slipping from my constant "drive it like you stole it" habit...

time to upgrade to something else and say to heck with stock!!!! :twisted:

hey mattswab, btw, Can you tell me how much HP can the stock tyranny take before breaking off?

[mattswabb]

I think Fred (b6t) was running 180HP on his and he was breaking it. Really depends on how you drive it. People break them with the stock enine too.
