the clutches are rated for 360 lb/ft torque, but am lead to believe that start to break away at around 340.

Default clutch

It should be ok for a few thousand miles but that depends on ur driving style, with that sort of bhp and torque id highly reccomend you get a ap racing organic cluctch and at the same time upgrade the flywheel to a lightened one, ive seen the ap clutch handle up to 400bhp with no problems so its seen to as bieng bullet proof, ull be able to launch the car more efficiently and your acceleration will quicker through the gears due to the lightened flywheel....
