Then oem pressure plate will only hold about 400rwhp* long-term reliably. With an Act or RPS or South Bend pressure plate, the oem flywheel and clutch disc will hold about 600rwhp*. With a carbon-ceramic clutch disc, it'll hold about 700rwhp*. Above that point you'll need a double or triple disc clutch.

A lightweight flywheel will improve roadracing performance, but it will not affect holding power.

E85 is 15% gasoline. Pure ethanol can be the start of a great party!

* P. S. Clutches actually hold torque, not horsepower. If you'd like the upgrade points in ft-lbs instead, please send me a PM.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
