We were running 285whp/225 tq (275/210 uncorrected; hot day) on E85 no problem with the 70mm pulley in the summer. Then the JDL header went on, then it got colder. Once it got below freezing the clutch said it's goodbyes. Not sure how much HP/TQ since the dyno has not yet been fully unpacked from the move, but it's definitely faster. I'd say stock clutch is good for no more than 225 uncorrected tq, probably closer to 210 for any serious span of time.
For the record we just run some 255 Goodyears 240 treadwear and don't get too wild with launch control. It is just power pulling it loose above 3500 in higher gears. In the summer it was 200 UNCORRECTED tq, so figure at least 220-240 in the cold on e85 with the JDL unit. Car is dramatically faster in the cold without the IC, and we're able to run some seriously advanced timing on e85 in these temps.
