What kind of HP are you guys putting down with your Stock Clutch?

[scottsee]

I've yet to install an aftermarket clutch. I drive like a grandma on the streets, but consistantly pull 1.7-1.9 0-60's at the track with a best of 12.422 @ 111 MPH on my full weight 2g. I'm not sure what kind of power that equates to, but has anyone else had their clutch last 130,000 miles without any problems?? What kind of power have you been able to get out of it?

Wow, how long have you been running that power on a stock clutch? I was going to tune to only about 260whp since my clutch is stock and to scared to blow it.

WTF You're sure it's stock? A previous owner couldn't have put a different one in?

Man, on a old setup I ran a 13.1 with a stock clutch slipping between 1-2 and 2-3. You must have a stock monster clutch. I only had basic mods...Nice run with the stock clutch!

130,000 miles on one stock clutch with drag runs, sounds fishy to me. Are you the original owner, reason I and others ask is that clutches don't last that many miles. (from what I've seen with other cars, haven't done a stock dsm clutch without some abuse.)

I've done the time listed below my name. It didn't slip at all on that run, but it was a sissy launch (1.9 60ft). I've tried a studder box launch and it would have no part of that. I know of others who have done even lower 12's @ 112ish on the stock clutch also, so it's not unheard of.

Nothing fish'e guys. I took the car in on trade for a new Hyundai Santa Fe in Febuary of 03 durring our auto show. Her 100,000 extended warrenty just expired, and wanted somthing to get her up/down her steap driveway in the winter. I sold her the Santa fe, took the GSX in on trade, went down to the local Mitsubishi Dealership had a UVI (used vehical inspection) & work order drawn up with all the things that were wrong with it, the part numbers, price, labor, & total.

I had them print up the entire work histrory on the car, just about every oil change was done at the dealership. There had been alot of warrenty work done to it, but no clutch. I unless I'm at the track I shift at 3000rpm's and never ever abuse the car outside of the track.. So far, the stock clutch is holding, and with new BC272 cams & ARP head studs I'm going to be searching for an 11 second pass this year. I don't expect the clutch to hold more then one last pass. But if it gets me home after the first day at the track this year I'll feel good about it...

I'm currious, does anyone knows who holds the stock clutch E/T record?
