Not Ranked
>> I have a perfectly functioning 10.4" OEM type clutch and pressure plate set-up with only 1,700 miles on it. I need to know if it will stand up to the 500+ crank HP of the 408 or not. <<
I doubt it. Because the car is so light, and you're not running slicks, you really don't need a racing clutch. But the stock one won't last.
My engine puts 470hp to the pavement. I have run it down the 1/4 miles a few times, with slicks. I run it on the road course fairly often, and I'm not afraid to beat on it on the street (no racing).
My clutch is a Centerforce dual friction. After two years of abuse, it looks surprisingly good. I'm installing another one just like it.
