Default Got a real simple question about our Hydraulic pressure

Hey guys, lets say at full pressure what would you say the max PSI a LS1 car will see in the clutch hydraulics?

Thanks

Depends on the clutch.

I tested my Exo the other day, and I think it required about 400lbs of pressure to open it ( tested it on a hydraulic press with a spring tester on it lol ).

Not bad I guess....on the flip side, it seemed to have about 2300lbs of clamping pressure on the cover/plate at its max.
