Quick one: Roughly what power will a standard 2WD clutch take?
As above, roughly before it starts slipping?

It depends how you drive it. My standard clutch was shagged when it was running standard power. Soon as i took it to stage 3 it just slips on boost all the time.

Thinking of using a standard (new) cossie friction plate I have here on a uprated cover plate to use in a sub 700kg Fiesta with approx. 300bhp.

Fine at 380 and hard launching, no slippage, beleive it to be std, but can't gaurantee, no paperwork to say otherwise.

IIRC there are 2 types of "standard" clutch, ford swapped suppliers a few years back.
