I don't have a clue which is right, but I do know that rated for and actual handling are two entirely different beasts...

I've seen ACT clutches "rated for " 300 tq handle well over 450 at the wheels... doesn't mean they'll live forever at that level or that every clutch they build can handle it, but i've seen them take well more than they are rated for many times...

I'm getting a Centerforce dual friction for mine hopefully within a week or two.

I called them twice with two different technicians. After reading your post, I called them again and made the tech on the phone confirm the 315rwtq capacity of the clutch and he checked the specs/records to confirm this. Please show me any documentation saying the Centerforce dual friction clutch for lexus sc300 cars can handle 400 or 500rwtq RELIABLY.

One of my buddies with a ford probe told me how much the Centerforce dual friction clutches sucked in terms of longevity...i.e. they would burn out quickly at higher than stock horsepower levels.

You know there is like a 500-1000 mile break in period right? They dont usually go by how many hours you run off boost. Anyway I would definetly send the company those pics and try and get a replacement asap!

I'm bumping this so it's on the record.

My Centerforce is now slipping. About 440hp. Lasted about a year and a half at that level.

I still love this clutch. The smoothest and lightest of any I have tried. Just too much torque.

I'm on the search for something else now. Open to suggestions.
