WHAT WHP will stock clutch hold
Mine held to 45,000 miles with 368whp/354wht. I have 46k on the car now and I get a moderate amount of clutch chatter and it slips like hell after a killer tune about 4k miles ago. I am not driving the car now and am in the process of finding a reliable and affordable aftermarket clutch that doesnt have high rev lock out like the ACTs.
The stock clutch lasted suprisingly long for me, with multiple launches and pushing it quite hard. I think the longevity and HP rating of the stock clutch all depends on the drivers style and amount of abuse.

My stocker went 20,000 miles with over 50 12.0-12.2 second and 1.6-1.7 60ft passes and numerous street launches and roll launches....All in how you treat it and how much you abuse it and HOW you abuse...You CANNOT ride the stocker hardly...When I launched, my foot came off the clutch pedal liike it was a hot coal. I payed special attention to ride the clutch as lttile as possible when daily driving also....I couldn't have been happier with how the stocker did for me....

A virgin OEM clutch/flywheel should be good for 4oowtq for a good 15000miles. Some types of Launching with the stock clutch will make it slip with 205wtq
Once you start launching the car the flywheel heats and warps from the clutch surface melting away giving it less surface to grip.

Brake boosting.
