AdderMk2. How much HP are you putting out?

I'm wondering where my breaking point is going to be on my T5.

I've heard all kinds of numbers.
daily... 275ish
when i wanna... ~400

I just clicked on the brenspeed link and didn't see anything for 86's. It started with 87 Mustangs.

I know I'm going to need a trans, but would prefer to not buy a clutch twice. It looks like the Centerforce clutch could work for what I have now and if I go to a 10 spline TKO 500. Am I missing something?

yea, you are...

you need to knwo what size flywheel you have in the car right now... its either 10" or 10.5"

and also... any 10 spline disc... will work on any 10 spline tranny

What's stock on an 86?

I'm almost sure that's what I have and I'll know for sure in a couple hours.

Do you think the centerforce clutch would handle my HP?

What is it about them you're not a big fan of?

ive shattered a few of them.. and heard similar horror stories from friends.

My favorite clutch was a SouthBend DXD... but I like my Spec Stage 2 just as much

Got it and I understand why you don't like them.

How much HP were you putting out when you shattered them?
