Got it from MVP motorsports' website.. I've seen this rating on other sites as well...
"The Sport series is the newest clutch in RPS' inventory. Sport Series Pressure Plates are similar to "HD" pressure from ACT. This clutch kit can hold up to
300 foot pounds of torque & is 15% stiffer than stock. They are intended for use in cars with mild modifications (exhaust, intake, boost controller, small turbo upgrade, etc). The Sprung Hub disc is a 6-puck design with alternating pucks of carbon & metal. It holds more power than the Street Disc yet is also very driveable & slippable. It will last longer than the Street Disc and requires a proper break-in."

Saw you mentioned this on Nico back in the day... really like my current RPS clutch which is why I want to stick with them, but I hear the MAX version is waay stiffer than the sport version, which makes sense given their 475ft lb with OEM style disc.

Everyone loves their Exedy stage 2, which is another front runner and looks like it probably has a softer/better pedal feel than the RPS MAX... but I see torque ratings of 290 up to 360 on various sites. Anyone know their true rating? I'd like to get something that is more in the 400ft lb range just so I'm not at it's limit.... Nvm... Exedy website shows torque capacity at wheels is 275:/
