From what I've heard (which isn't much), it can take around 250ft lbs at the wheels.

Thanks for the informaiton. Still not sure what clutch to upgrade to. Want one that will handle around 300ft/lbs but want one with smooth engaugement and reasonable pedal effort. Keith

Heh. Search? No one uses that thing.

Spec or Southbend are the two most popular clutches for our cars.
