How much tq/hp can a stock ls clutch handle?

like before it starts slipping or before it wears out in 3 weeks from driving it hard? and assuming stock pressure plate?

 

[hgocasca]

Both, I'm shooting for 170whp on mine, and spray as well, like a 35 shot.

If that's your plan, I'd upgrade the clutch and pressure plate.

How about without the spray?

The best I can help you out with is my stock spec replacement gs-r clutch went out within 6 months under some spirited driving and a few launches at the drag strip and my car was only making 170 whp. I have since upgraded to an Exedy Stage 1 organic clutch and can feel the difference immediately. Almost as from day one of the oem spec stock gs-r clutch was slipping or losing power in the upper RPM range. (And I did proper clutch break-in periods for both clutches; 500 miles for city driving or 700 miles at 3k RPM's or under 4k RPM's for mixed driving)

Funny you noticed a difference because Exedy makes the OEM clutch discs for our cars, and they are really similar to the "stage 1".

That's what I'm thinking, does anyone have the exact specs for it?
