What peak torque levels have you had these issues?

I've been debating between going turbo or doing a swap of some sorts. I like that the stock driveline stuff is so light, but it's obviously fairly weak. I'd like to get the car around 2250-2300 pounds and keeping a light trans and rear diff in the car would help.

My last clutch was rated at 305ftlb torque. All these items broke at 17-18psi whic is where that clutch would blow out.

I'm going to dyno the car before the end of the year on high boost.

Oh yea I'm a very light E36

The setup you have will not hold what torque I'm putting down. Metric said the only BMW clutch I can use is a modified M5 setup ($1,100) or stick with my stage 5. My last setup was the 9# titanium flywheel with a 6-puck and stage 5 pressure plate.

I have a super light E36 so it does get loose up to about 70mph on 20psi boost. Yes I do have some seceret tricks but anyone can buy them if they call Metric and ask for the latest file on my motor. I will share how to cut weight but it is obvious to most people.

Yes I spray it if needed

If your clutch chatters it will take out both the clutch and the diff fairly easy.
Even at way lower HP.

The rear suspension on a BMW is not exactly beefy even on a seven series. most of the BMW engines don't slam down torque..

Tire selection is a huge factor as well..
