Will the factory clutch hold the torque from the Comptech Aftercooler kit? Anyone with the SC have any input on this, or is it a must to upgrade the clutch? Thanks.

 

I don't have a S/C but I would think if your using the stock clutch with the supercharger fine then adding the aftercool which only adds about 10-15hp won't make a big difference.

 

I put my Vortech kit on at 28,000 KMs (divide by 1.6 to get miles). I now have 48,000 KMs. Still on the original clutch. Still works fine.
ps. I don't abuse my car nor do I drive the crap out of it. If you plan to, the stock clutch may not suffice.

 

maybe wait until your current clutch wears out then replace it with a better one.

I don't think the stock clutch is that great and my car is completely stock. It feels slightly mushy when speed shifting from high rpm.

When mine wears out, (3-4 years from now) I will get a stiffer sprung pressure plate and maybe a lighter flywheel. Members on the board have said that the OEM clutch disk works fine with an after market pressure plate.

Edit: I lied when I said my S was completely stock. I have race pads and ATE brake fluid

 

Maybe ACT would be the answer ?? heavy duty plate, strong and yet easy to drive....
