Racing clutch or stock ?

Hi
does anyone know what the hp limit of a stock clutch is ?
I am building a Lotus 7 with an '85 13b street port, about 1400 lbs
with driver.
Do I need a racing clutch ?
Gripforce sells the F1 Racing
Stage 1 clutch w/ pplate and TO bearing rated for
252 hp
235 tq
thanks

The car is so light a stock clutch will behave like a high end performance clutch. My MG Midget with a 13B is like this.
