you wont loose HP but when it starts slipping it will definitley slow the car down. What clutch are you looking at? Id rather do it right the first time then have to drop the trans and everything to do the same thing twice

I think the napa clutches are made by Perfection, and I believe Perfection also makes Zoom...

I don't think any clutch has an effect on horsepower..

The clutch won't technically affect HP, but you need the right clutch for your power level or it will slip and wear out faster. The pressure plate also needs to be able to clamp w/ the right amount of force or you'll have the same issues. Do it right and match your parts up correctly.
