Turbo car, built to drag race, never been on a dyno. wat?
This is simple math kind of stuff, not something you need "experience" for, but it seems like you'd rather have your answers handed to you, so whatever. Competition Clutch part #8026-1620 (or 8026-1620-X) is your answer. Stage 4, 6 puck sprung hub, and the -X has a stiffer pressure plate. Better to go a little too big than go a little too small.

Good way to overheat the friction material and ruin the clutch too. If you want to increase the time the clutch takes to grab you want a sprung full face disc.

Re: LS VTEC TURBO
Since we're on the topic of hand me down info I'll step in and ask my thread jack of the day.....
Which clutch holds up the best against the whp range of 350 and also takes the abuse of downshifting/clutch braking as you would do in circuit racing?

For example I have run 10's with a stock T45 Mustang transmission with the stock 10 spline input shaft. Most people didn't believe it and chalked it up there with luck. Sure some are better than most but the fact that I underclutched it probably saved it's life. Now had I put in a Stage9 clutch because "bigger is better" I'd have piggy backed him on a flatbed.

Re: LS VTEC TURBO
That's the same mentality WRX owners subscribe to - opt for something on the small side because the transmission is made of glass and explodes unless the clutch slips
If you pre-load, drivetrain failure isn't that big of a concern - i'm sticking to the CC4 suggestion. Bigger IS better this time

Re: LS VTEC TURBO
So now we're talking about undersizing your clutch so you don't break hardware that needs to be upgraded for certain power levels? Is this serious? There's a common phrase in the car world: You have to pay to play. Intentionally running an undersized clutch so that you don't have to upgrade the transmission (or learn how to preload correctly) is silly.
Quit ******* around, do it once, and do it right.

I learned just about everything I know from people like Bruce Hemminger, Mark Thompson, and Bob Hanlon. Mark Thompson spent several phone calls helping me set my clutch's air gap. Hell at one point I had a faceplated TKO500 from Dan Baumann out of his car. But I'm sure you could teach all those guys some things.

I never said to run an undersized clutch. I don't believe you understand what I'm talking about and you obviously know what you are talking about so I'll leave it alone.

There is nothing wrong with a slightly slipping clutch that still grabs. It helps things to live longe
