well, i've seen people run stock clutches on a powerworks SVT supercharger and they are at about 200 wtq, don't know how long they last, and i see people w/ SVT BBK JRSC's run stock clutches all the time and never have a problem!

Way back when i first went turbo, we were tuning my SVT and around 250wtq the clutch failed.... with only 8k miles on it.

Went with a stage 4 Clutchmasters and its been holding up fine for years.

You're taking a chance with stock clutch by increasing the torque by any significant amount. The SVT clutch is not strong at all. Stock torque is maybe 135. Running a 50% increase is waaay out of its range of operation. Luckily, running 100% more power through the motor is perfectly safe [:)]

I was using it as a DD+2times dyno+2 autox+1 track event+1 hill climb race and then it started slip in 6....so I knew I will need new....
I have a picture how clutch looked like ;-) if u interested ;-)
