Default O.E Sti 8 clutch

I'm sure someone on here will know because i haven't a clue
How much power will the stock STI version 8 clutch take?
Looking at getting her to push upto 400hp, not sure how more torque.
Would the stock clutch last for a while or will she slip straight away?

Its more than capable of what you want it to do they should be good for 450lbs of torque.

Mine gave up at 43,000 miles and 360 ft.lb.'s (400 bhp), it started slipping in top, then fifth, then fourth, then it ended up in the garage amongst the flotsam of my life....

Sorry !
