When I got my first FD, the first mods I put on it were the PFS computer, intake, and dp. At the track, I set it to 10psi which is stock, and it went out the door on the first pass, lol......so it won't hold much.

300 rwhp and corresponding torque from the stock twins at that rwhp level seems to be about it.
My dad has been running ~290 rwhp on his stock clutch for about 40k miles now with no problems.

Won't hold long past 300 rwhp. Mine started slipping at 39k miles within a week of doing intake, downipe, catback, ecu. Was in good shape prior. The best clutch for any fd in my opinion is the Exeddy twin disk, if you can afford it. Has a light pedal and streatable takeup. ACT is good for the money, lasts pretty long. Centerforce doesn't hold up. The specs I've driven on had very abrupt takeup and a heavy pedal.

my spec stage 4 (sprung 6 puck) has an abrupt takeup but a very light pedal. I have spoken to other spec clutch owners and they experienced the same light pedal pressure.
personally, I miss my ACT street/strip.....
