How much power will the stock internals hold?

^ It should hold up if they replaced the failing components with metallic ones...

Why do people like getting the OS Giken clutch for street cars? I don't get it, its a pain in the *** to drive with it in traffic.

^^^^ This is the reason I have not bought a clutch yet. I want a tougher setup but dont want to lose the joy of driving the car due to getting a massive leg work out in traffic.

What about exeddy??

The Giken is actually pretty easy to drive. It's not that much firmer than stock and you can slip it to set it going as it is a dampered set-up. It's easy to start, creep over speed bumps etc.. It's not like a super high clamping force single six puck thats all grab and go.

I've heard mixed reviews though, some say its fine, others say the wheel is so light you have to pay attention every time you stop and go as to not stall it. Pedal feel is never really the complaint, its more about the fw.

Man 505whp at 8.8psi damn, that must be nice.

So, who's recorded the most miles with either SC or TT setup on the OEM clutch?
