    How much horsepower do you think a stock STi clutch can handle? I was thinking of doing some mods down the road and was wondering what would be realistic. This kit sounds pretty awesome, but I'll probably wait until my warranty runs out :)

    OK let me cover a few things here for you. A stock STI will put down 220+/- on a Mustang (local dyno) that being said I would look at a clutch at over 300WHP. The clutch will also wear per the driver as well.

    Second I would search xcceleration on www.nasioc.com . They do not have a good reputation for the truth if you know what I mean ;)

    Finally I would be very careful of just buying parts for your car there are alote of wrong parts to get and a few right parts to buy. I am sure other members will share there stories of getting the wrong stuff. Post what you are concidering and we will help you out.
