Wouldn't it be better to buy a clutch rated for 600lbs instead of pushing that clutch that barely meets what your car needs?
A clutch rated 200 tq above your #s isnt a giant leap and should be fine,

but if you get one rated at 700wtq for a 300wtq car, the clutch will survive but other parts in the driveline will take more shock. You want the clutch to break rather than the trans!
