Default How much can the clutch take?

Hi All

Just chating and someone advised with the power im looking for the clutch wont last long?
Its a WRX 07 from what i read there is no company the offers an upgrade of std why is that?
Im looking for 300-340bhp (supporting mods ofc) while i realise it will be the torque that kills it is there a safe figure in mind of what they can take for just spirited road use no silly launchs?

tbh the standard clutch will handle that, however your 5 speed wrx box may not, id worry more about that, should you need a clutch, excedy are good and not badly priced

Thank you, speaking to a couple of well regarded tunners on here they have said the wrx should see 350bhp without bother on the later hawks and ill be under that anyway.
What am i getting confused about just seen about 3 diff posts saying you have to OEM as thats all that about for the push type's?
