Yes. My MR did 494whp with the stock clutch and it held fine even after repeated dyno runs. The torque is what destroys clutches, so anything over 450lbs and the stock clutch will slip and cook itself.

Also, of course, all that depends on how you drive it.

100%

You can have 800 WHP and only use 200 of it, and have a clutch hold up fine for years. Or you can have 300 WHP and use all 300 of it and chew the clutch up in no time depending on your style.
