Default Genuine Motorcraft Clutch Question

Will a motorcraft series 2 turbo clutch be able to handle 180bhp and roughly the same amount of torque or is it a case of it will but not for very long.

Help help greatly received

Matthew

There should not be a problem with the original clutch as im running 200bhp on a standard clutch and so far its lasted and has not slipped once. If you take the power over 220bhp then its best to go for an uprated clutch
