The BA2 F6 clutch problem was not anything to do with strength. It was a design problem in whuch the natural harmonics of the I6 caused some small components to fatigue and fail prematurely. The new clutch is basically the same as the old one with a few bits moved and remodelled.

My bog standard 290kw BA1 GT-P demonstrated far more power at a competive dyno day back in 2005 than every single HSV tested including 300kw C4Bs and 297Kw LS2s with a reading of 247rwkw.

Of course there is always the "happy dyno" defence but if that were the case and as it was a ls1.com.au dyno day if there were any shonkies going on they would probably be with the HSVs not the evil FPV.
