Question ? will i need aftermarket clutch with these mods?

hey guys, i'm thinking i may need to purchase and aftermarket clutch to support my mods. i was wondering if anyone has a similar mod list and knows for sure if i will need one. my car currently has a brand new oem clutch but i really don't know how much power i will be putting down. let me know what you guys think based on my mods and which clutch would you go with?

brn stage 3 twins, large smic(xspower) & duct, 1300cc secondaries, gm map sensor, hks twin power, smb d/p, rx7store resontated m/p, apexi n1 duals, koyo nflow, hks rs intakes, greddy pulley kit a/p delete, rob baily's solenoids, efini y, magnacore wires, profec b controller, fresh plugs. (don't know if it matters but also have ceramic coated upper and lower intake manifolds)

i will have all new maintenance items as well, with all new fluids and filters done. i am planning to run around 15-17lbs. of boost. if anyone has similar mods, did you put an aftermarket clutch in? like i said i'm not sure what kind of power i will generate.

thanks for any help, mark

I'd be a good investment, you should be around 350whp

In the least, you need a stronger pressure plate. You can still run the OEM clutch disc (with the stronger pressure plate).

hey thanks you guys, i found the old post i was looking for with all of the clutch recommendations. i think i will be picking up the act clutch and prolite flywheel. it seems to be highly compatable for the power range i should be in and liked by a lot of peeps.
