oem and aftermarket clutch limitations

I'm due for a clutch in my turboII and I keep coming up with the same questions. The search didn't give any useful results.

>what is the torque/power limits of the OEM clutch?
>opinion on using stock clutch and heavy spring pressure plate?

thanks for your help on this.
n/a clutch 22 spline
turbo clutch 23 spline
organic clutches/oe can't handle high heat
copper have high grip but tend to eat into the flywheel
Kevlar clutches hold better than organic but can burn under heavy abuse
carbon carbon clutches are best but very high priced.

I guess I would look at your power levels and how you use the car.

Stock power? then... stock oem clutch....

I got my exedy stage 1 heavy duty for $380 bucks and its good for up to around 310wtq.

If you're completely stock or very close an OEM style will work but won't provide any increase in performance.

I believe its organic and has a heavy duty pressure plate.

I got it on amazon.
