The new generation of the ST is the way to go.

I love how my powergrip HD drives on the street, but I'm not sure how it would hold up to hard launches and 470rwhp.

I ordered my street twin 6 weeks ago and still waiting, but it is the best you can get.

Who makes 470RWHP?

I do with the auto and the converter locked, 500 should be a no brainer through a six speed.

I thought you made ~460rwhp with a locked 4l60e?

Actually it was 463, with 2 wounded pistons on a stingy dyno(per Ed Wright).


SO I am gonna pick up 10 rwhp going to a six speed?


I would venture to say it puts down 480ish now with the auto(locked).

500 with a six speed should be a no brainer.

I got a Spec Stage 3 and Spec Billet flywheel for my planned 500 RWHP.

street twin with miba linings, way to go. that is for 800+ rwhp.

for 500 rwhp, you can get with organic linings and it is easier on trans parts.

the slipper clutch will likely require new linings after a season, or less, depending on driving habits. to me it is worth the extra effort. but i am not like everyone else. lol!!! clutch disc < cost of tranny repair ALL DAY LONG!
