In your experience what's about the limit of a stock 03' cobra clutch as far as hold capacity?

Good to know... I'm still on my stock clutch too, and was wondering when I will be needing one. If its holding for you with 550rwhp then I should be ok for now!

The specs from Tremec is 450 ft/lbs. A 26 spline with significantly increase this. There are other parts such as the plastic keys that break easily, bearing sleeve, ect. .. see link.

I've heard of MANY whippled cobras still running on their stock clutch and having zero issues. I will probably be with a stock clutch for the entire time I own the car....only planning on a ported cobra.

Had a 150 shot to a 96 cobra that held for a long time. 1.7 60's too.

Well I've only been pullied for 3500 miles and make 455/479. I just did all the tranny upgrades. Promotion clutch, 26 input shaft, tob sleeve, ect. Shop told me my stock clutch was shot! Now I think alot of it has to do with how you drive and use the clutch. I hope it was the previous owners and not me. My car currently has roughly 23,500 miles and 3,500 of those are from me.

Over 15k miles with ported blower, making around 490 rwhp and stock clutch seems to be holding fine (knock on wood).
