the clutch im buying is rated to 320hp/290tq. i have fully rebuilt my ka and plan on running 10psi. the kit comes with a flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate just wonderin what my hp/tq numbers would be at 10psi and if the clutch rated to those numbers would hold up well. by the end of this project i hope to push 300hp but idk

It's really hard to answer you question with the given information. 10 psi on let's say a T25 is alot different than 10 psi on GT32. It all depends on your setup is what I'm getting at.

gotta say that it really depends on your turbo that ur using and if you plan on sticking at that power level. your going to be grazing the limit of that clutch so i would personally opt for something a bit higher.............

Also clutches are only measured in TQ. And your set up would help us determine the answer to your question ...

not to thread jack but if my clutch is newish (less than 2000) and slipping should i be worried or wait until it breaks in some more?? it only does it on WOT, if i feather the gas at say 30% its fine but anything more the rpms jump to redline but no power with it.
