why dont you list h/p and torque and give everyone a chance to give you an answer that might be right. I would guess it would but there rated by torque if matched to a certain pressure plate.

dude, i'm simply asking if a 3 puck clutch an hold about 380 hp. I figure the guys with single turbo make this kind of hp.

Since I have a rx7, this would be the right forum?????

Haha that's what I thought too.^^

Yes, it will handle that however, That clutch might be too much if you're using it for the street. I've never used one though. I have a Spec stage 3+ and it's perfect for my power level plus some. 353/315.

I heard that car is *****.

Has something like 380HP to the front wheels and not enough wheel/diff/suspension outfittings to handle the power. Tap the gas and spin your front tires like a honda dragster. Cool.

from what I understand from a few ppl that test drove em'
that you hit the gas and you car flies to the right, hit the
breaks and it flies to the left. There is such thing as to
to much in a fwd car imho, sacrifice drivability for hp.
