going to do a vp109 race gas tune with externally gated fp green...........stock clutch.......4900 on it......clutch seems to be in good shape.

For a while...?

jermdeez · 02-11-2008, 01:39 PM

yea I meant for the tune. I realize it wont last too long but I didnt know if it could even handle the power. Only had st. 2 before but I put 45k hard miles on it

Good luck with that. I'd upgrade the clutch before your tune. Why chance it? If your stock clutch doesn't hold, you'll have to get tuned again after you do upgrade your clutch. Although it is possible that your stock clutch will hold the power, your setup has more than enough power to cause the stock clutch to start slipping.

my stock clutch is still good.....even with almost 30k on my build and pushing near 400 whp....it all depends on how you drive it....meaning....do you track it? Do you launch it alot...etc etc

You will be fine. I had an FP Green throwing down 400whp before my 20g went on and it was fine. Stocker is pretty strong.

Horsepower doesn't matter - torque is what kills clutches. I'd recommend sticking with the stocker until it goes, but put the money aside for when it does. It may be soon, it may be a long time. It all boils down to how you treat it.

OK i did 330 its reads dead on with local mustang dyno........vp109 race map i should do close to 400.........it should hold then y'all think? I know I have to get one.......I just don't want to go for the tune and rip apart my clutch and be forced to get one before I can really motor around again.......seems to be handling this much power but **** I can't imagine with close to 400
