M5R2 max torque specs.

[Lonno]

I know this has been kicked around on here a few times, but I'm wondering if anyone ever figured out the breaking point of the stock clutch on the M5R2. I know the hp is not a worry but I really don't know where I am at as far as torque on my truck and subconsiously I am starting to drive like a little old lady.

Some people say the tranny is set up for 250#'s and no mas. Then some people say it can handle 350+ torque.

Has anyone beefed up the clutch and beaten on it?

Thanks,
Dave

i have a stock clutch, but i also have a somewhat stock engine. Only things done are the starwheel and smoke screw so far and i beat on the clutch a decent amount with no problems....i wouldnt be able to tell you about that much torque till next year haha paint and SAS are first on the list before perfomance mods

I have a stock clutch behind my 4bt and haven't had any issues, even when towing--my 4bt has a fuel pin, gov spring, and fuel screw adjustments. Ive actually been surprised as to how well the clutch as done--I kinda expected to have to put a heavier-duty one in.

My stock "performance" clutch held up to about 600 ft-lb if I was really careful. NO BOOSTED LAUNCHES OR POWERSHIFTS!!

At 450 ft-lbs or so you can still burn it if you're not careful when you're trying to start burnouts from a dead stop. But if you're a semi-reasonable driver it'll last quite awhile.
