Alright I'm just finishing a head/cam swap,90/90,LT, and procharger set-up. I want to get it dynoed as soon as I finish it, will the stock clutch hold on the dyno? I plan on runing a good clutch(Not sure what one), I just want to get this thing dynoed. The car should put down between 500-600rwhp, is this clutch going to slip too much? Just bought the car so I don't know how many miles are on it, the guy said there was a clutch installed soon before he bought it.

Thanks

I would say you would be losing a nice percentage of power through that stock clutch man so don't be dissapointed if you don't hit the numbers your looking for because she could be slipping on ya...

I wouldn't take a stock clutch much higher than 400rwhp (and thats if its brand new) and expect it to last for to long depending how your drive it.

Mine was slipping it *** off when it was dynod after the H/C swap. Mine only had 40K on it

If you dont have the time or the $$$ swap it, dyno it, and they do the swap and re-dyno, id like to see the difference.

I'd say swap the clutch...you'll lose alot of power through it slipping...

On a personal note, I had a stock 39,500 mile LS6 clutch in the car and it has intake, exhaust, no tune. And it slipped bad when it was warm air temps (summer), or I raced it, dead pedal and I couldnt drain the fluid.

In swapped the slave out, and a better clutch, and I havent even really got hard on it, only over 3k rpms but I can already tell the car when the clutch is disengaged bites hard, much harder then stock, so I expect that clutch may gain in HP to the wheel.

DAMN!!!.....Another $500-$1000.00 before I can dyno it, I guess ya got to pay to play! Thanks for all the input I appreciate it.

asking of the stock clutch will hold is like asking how much a rolls royce costs

...

if you have to ask...

I was just hoping it would make it through the dyno session, then throwing in something else when I could pony up the money the following week. This patience thing is a bitch!

will it last on the dyno...70/30 favor of yes, BUT it will probably cost you so much power that the dyno run will be more misleading than its worth.

I concur....you're likely to lose so much power through the stock clutch slipping that you would be better served to swap in a better clutch and then hit the dyno.

well i used to have an LT1 that was a 383 and had a p1 procharger with full bolt ons. Made 515rwhp and close to 600rwtq. Stock clutch held fine. I never launched my car from a dig and didnt take it to the track, only roll raced. But if you have the money and its out, might as well. IF not, dont beat on it like crazy.
