I just e-mailed RP asking what they have seen the clutch hold up to...No response yet...As for how much I drive my car I figure I will just burn it up and get another one later. If it last for 5k miles I would be happy....Will post when they reply

Originally emailed by Rocky @ RP
David,
We used that same cluthc for over 500hp at the wheels. However, keep in mind, we change clutches allot in the race car. For a street car making around 400hp, this should be a good starting point. If you find that it is slipping too much, you can get the 6-puck clutch disk for it for around $140.00. If there is anything else, please let me know.

Thank you,
Rocky
So there you have it ladies and gentlemen...I think I shal stick with it till it burns out

good idea, and you already have the pressure plate. so you're good to go.
are you going to stick with the supra pump?

w/ a fuel pump, it's not a matter of upgrading later, it's a matter of blowing your motor now.

sometimes you have to do things in stages. i know i do. i wish i could do more right now, but dont have the funds to go all out, although i think i pretty much have mechanically. just have to wait for more money to go to the next stage (interior) on the car.
should be sweet apnea! i've had my shop guy (has a wrx in car and driver ultimate test, took 3rd) and rob from pineapple tell me that more than 350 at the wheels is rediculously fast anyway, so your 400 should kick ***, and be a hell of a lot of fun!
