Look at my signature. That's on the stock clutch and I'm currently at 25k miles. 1k on the stocker with my new power.

Will it hold for another 5-10k miles? Don't know, but I will not wait for that long to find out since I'm installing my exedy twin that I bought a while ago next month.

IMO, it will last for some time if you don't abuse the car everytime you use it but you should start saving some money and invest on an aftermarket clutch.

if you don't launch your car you should be fine. but i'd save and get a good aftermarket clutch.

just a heads up it's your torque numbers that relate to a clutch not horsepower

If you need a clutch dont race the car and save up to buy an ACT clutch kit its worth it. Buying another stock clutch is a waste of money.
