How much is Safe? torque on Exedy stage 2 clutch

[gordonliu]

the clutch is rated at ~350 torque.

it is a 3 puck clutch

I am using a fidanza flywheel, which actually uses some OTHER kind of friction surface (not metal, but more like the clutch material itself)

now:

does this mean you can actually run ~350 torque at the flywheel safely? should you ASSUME that this is really the upper maximum and that you should probably run much less than this?

I stupidly did not think that one through very hard, and now its in the car....

350 torque, assuming 20% drivetrain loss, is 280 torque at the wheels.

That is basically EXACTLY what I want, but I am not sure if this is safe.

mind you: I dont plan on burning out, drag racing, or anything.

just spirited driving....

But I also dont want my clutch to disintegrate and destroy my transmission (in other words: I dont want to push it if it is not safe to do so)

any thoughts?
