Question about Stock Clutch

Thinking about picking up a 2014 GSR brand new, im planning on doing:
TurboXS full turbo back exhaust CATLESS
Ets Intake
Ets UICP
RRE 3-port
Walbro 255 Fuel Pump
and RRE dyno tune for 91 ONLY

My question is with these parts do I have to be worried about the stock clutch going out on me very quickly. I have an evo 8 to drive fast. Its going to be a daily driver, I'm not going to be driving it like a ricer LOL. No launching, how many miles should I get out of the stock clutch before I have to replace it? I know this isn't a fair question because its all about the way you drive it, but what do you guys think.

I also had very similar mods too on my 08 sst and had no issues. Minimal to no clutch slip. Running about 260kw at the wheels. Did about 40,000kms before I bought a new 2013 evo x. Sst again.

Always depends on how hard you drive and launch it. I know of people who go through clutches like toilet paper. A lot about driver usage, along with power

Remove the stock plastic clutch restrictor pill right now and you'll be fine.

65k miles, 425whp/400wtq, and my clutch is still holding strong

Don't let a 3-cent piece of plastic cause you a $1,500 clutch job!
