For those who have driven my car hard (wayne for example) can tell you that there is no slipping this clutch.

I’d be more concerned with the TQ rating rather than HP when picking out a clutch. ---

I dont want to deal with bullshit like it not working like stock. Fuck, Ive had other vehicles with stock clutches and never any issues except one truck I had but I beat the fuck out of it. This POS cant keep an aftermarket clutch at all. ---
