That is the capacity at the crank (which is the way that we rate all of our units). Please let me know if you all have any further questions. Thanks!

no I don't think a stage 5 would. I have my last 3+ in the car wih a pressure plate failure again in less than a year. And under 11k miles. I stepped down from a centerforce to a 3+. That is a big bad mistake.

Great insight js2...the horse is still dead by the way (lol) but thats ok, just keep kicking it (you know I am just giving you a hard time right).

Elky, considering the 150 shot I would opt for a higher capacity unit to insure that you do not over-power it. What kind of torque are you shooting to make in total? Let me know and I will provide a recomendation. Thanks,

well im not sure about torque. i have yet to have the car dynoed with this cam in it, buy Ai says it should make between 345-360 rwhp. im probably only going to run a 100-125 shot but i just wanted to be sure. it will probably be on a WOT switch. and, with street tires, 1st gear is useless at WOT without the nitrous so i wont be spraying off the line. im kinda on a budget so im just trying to wait a little longer before i go buy another clutch. i may just run a smaller shot just to preserve the clutch

Are you going to keep it on street tires? I ask because the tire used can have a majow impact on the clutch recommended. Let me know. Thanks!

Based on your description I think a 2+ would give you both plenty of capacity and great drivability. I beleive a stage 2 would hold but for someone that is going to race it regularly and hit it with a decent nitrous shot the 2+ would be a great option. Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
