Thread: Having a brain fart...

When clutches refer to "holding capacity of 170% over stock," does it mean:

132 lb-ft x 1.7 = 224.4 lb-ft

or

torque rating x twice the tq rating + an additional 70% = 132 lb-ft x 2 x 1.7 = 448.8 lb-ft

Having a little brain fart...

I read 170% as 100 percent over stock (double) plus 70 percent more on top of that

That is what I am leaning to, but I want to be 100% (pun not intended) sure.

+100% and over makes more sense.

Yeah, would make sense that way, but that's probably what they're banking on. Slippery advertising right there. Get you thinking 270% but hey, they only stated 170%, so it isn't "false"

I would think its
132 lb-ft + (132 lb-ft * 170%) = 356.4 lb-ft
