How much Hp can it hold?

mustangmanic · March 9th, 2008, 02:30 PM

Ok well i have the stock tranny for my 02 gt... which is, i believe a T-3650...?

Well in about a year i'm throwing a twinscrew s/c on there at about 9psi (around 400rwhp). Will my tranny and clutch handle it?

HMUSN · March 9th, 2008, 02:30 PM

tranny yes.. clutch I would upgrade

RyanGT · March 9th, 2008, 02:31 PM

clutch not very long... tranny probably a decent amount of time. I wouldnt worry about the tranny till it breaks. But the clutch i would replace soon. Mine was slipping as soon as i put my KB on.

i got the centerforce dual friction and loved it... most people will say spec though.

Spec........... The 3650 will be fine for a while.

That's at the flywheel too. I been at least 390+ tq for 4 years on a used tr3650 I bought for 350. Lots of trips to the track.

Yeah, if you treat them right (change fluid regularly), they will hold up just fine.

StangAddiction · March 9th, 2008, 08:30 PM

On a street car it'll handle well over 360 lb-ft.... as long as you're not pounding on it, dumping the clutch, mis-shifting, and bangin gears 24/7 it'll be fine.

mustangmanic · March 9th, 2008, 08:35 PM

well i'm gonna have around 400rwhp give or take... so thats around 380-400lbtq...

When i had my car dyno tuned at springfield motorsports, i was bs'ng with Wheat...he brought up a good point...he keeps the stock clutch in his car because he considers it a fuse..since he works in a shop, he'd rather blow out a cheap clutch vs blowing up a rear end. I like his idea, but if its your dd then go ahead and upgrade.

You're good...I've seen street cars push as high as 600whp on t45s.. and they're weaker than tr-3650. Its all about how you drive really.

GTsetGO · March 9th, 2008, 09:31 PM

i have close to 450 tq at the wheels and the tranny is doing fine. clutch however is gone. i am getting a spec stage 2+ put in next weekend. fun fun. looks like i will change the fluid as well.

mystang0673 · March 9th, 2008, 10:58 PM

well... the way to look at it is if you have the money to buy hardened gears and shift forks then do it while you have the trans out cuz when you break it you will regret not doin it while you have it down..
