pushing 350-380whp on stock clutch

When my car is done ill be pushing close to 350-380whp. I want to know how the stock clutch will hold up with that kind of power? Btw I DO NOT LAUNCH my car. How many of you using stock clutch pushing 350 or more, how is it holding up? I thought you only need to upgrade when you want to launch, once your moving it should be the same as a aftermarket clutch?

thanks.. I just want to make sure before I spend money on a clutch. Would rather just wait until the clutch goes and then upgrade. I thought it was a MUST do thing when your pushing that kind of power, launching or not.

I dynoed at 494whp on a dynojet with the stock MR clutch. STill holding fine on the street with about 450whp also never launched yet. It will go soon enough though, just a matter of time. No sense in spending money now, wait till it goes then replace the clutch.

archie those are nice numbers. it did say at 96 octane but how much psi. also with the 660 injectors are you losing alot of gas mileage.

330whp on stock clutch. I expect it to last a LONG time because I NEVER launch my car. Holding the power from a roll should be no problem.
