Extreme noob question

I keep hearing to make 400-450whp my clutch needs to be able to handle it. Lets say the stock clutch starts slipping will that wreck anything. Cant I just keep driving it like that. I mean eventually Ill have no clutch left but it won't wreck anything right?

The added heat from a slipping clutch will damage the flywheel.

Won't hurt much, you will want to have your flywheel turned anyway, when you change the clutch.

Your clutch won't be able to handle the torque that will accompany the hp.

But I'm just under 400 for both and my stock clutch is fine so far. However I don't launch or drive it like a retard.

This is why folks should do a bit more proof-reading before clicking Submit Reply. If we could trust that "clutch" always meant a single thing (in contrast to, say, "clutches"), then no-one would have to ask "GSR or MR?" in a thread about a (singular) clutch.

Of course, if the author of the post above was simply unaware that MRs have two clutches, then my point is somewhat ruined.
