Default Stock clutch, how strong

Hi all

Just wondering. Had my EcuTek some time ago and the power gain was quite remarkable, so now i'm wondering, how much torque and top power are you guys running on stock clutches? I'm not really in to changing the clutch to a stronger one, because i'm afraid that my gearbox would be the weakest point.

The power right now is 312 BHP and 392 nm/289 lbf.ft

Thanks in advance

Rasmus

Not slipping............yet ;-)

I'm not really in to getting a stronger clutch, then i'm sure that I'll see a gearbox failure following pretty fast ;-)

Keep it until it slips, if pulling the box or engine change it.
