If "x" hp/tq will break your street tires loose, then all you really need for a clutch is, say, "x" plus 20%, right? Right now, with my measly little 475HP, "weak sister" FE, if I'm just slowly going down the street, or parking lot, and I give it more than half throttle, my Yokohamas just break right loose and spin and my POS Centerforce clutch holds just fine. Sooooo, if I had an additional 300HP on my engine, why would the situation be any different?
