It combines a Heavy Duty diaphragm pressure plate with a spring-centered 4-pad ceramic race disc to provide substantially greater holding capacity than a conventional OE-style organic clutch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clutch is rated for \u003cstrong\u003e265 lb-ft of torque at the engine\/crank\u003c\/strong\u003e, providing approximately \u003cstrong\u003e86% greater torque capacity than the OE clutch configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Ceramic friction material also provides the heat tolerance needed for repeated hard launches, aggressive shifts, clutch kicks, and other demanding performance use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike a rigid race disc, the \u003cstrong\u003espring-centered hub provides torsional cushioning between the engine and transmission\u003c\/strong\u003e.
