Adding 2 ft-lbs of torque is within the realm of dyno inaccuracy.

If your clutch is slipping, that's a different story. Is your clutch slipping?

When someone can explain this too me like I'm a five year old. Then you are qualified to explain torque. Not trying to be that guy. Sorry...

This guy lol.... lets humor you a little because i dont know the weight of the stock clutch assembly, but IF and only IF this stage 2 clutch is any lighter then MABYE you could see .5ft lbs more of torque??? other than that im done trying lol

if you are going to remove the stock clutch you should think about upgrading to a twin disc type type. the addition of the 2nd disc actually multiples the torque x2. thats why you see a lot of racecars with 2 and even 3 disc setups.

OP: also, for every tailpipe you add, your hp increases by close to triple. that's why dragsters have so many exhaust pipes.

I'm just going to say what I have to say. My clutch is not the greatest, and whoever owned it before probably wasn't the greatest at driving it. It's slipping not a whole lot, but enough that it's getting annoying. Yes I need a new clutch. Can't race very well if half the race I'm waiting for my car to fully lock in gear. I've had the car for three months and I'm trying to figure out all I need to bring back the cars peak performence.

That's fine and there's plenty of advice and knowledge that can be had on these forums to help you build an awesome car. Take some time to browse around and learn a little. It'll save you the grief of being written off as a complete dumbass when you say things like clutch adds 80% torque. Goodluck.
