Go Exedy Double, you I believe are a little past the threshold. 330-350 whp on a DD with minimal abuse would hold for a while. 340-375 < than 8K I bet on the stocker
Oh HKS EVC 6, with a TTP tune and Greddy TB exhaust, clutch slipped at 22K. Previous EVO 8 went 40K with similar mods. Cosworth cams installed, retune from TTP, clutch didnt last a week.

Stock clutch on an Evo VIII will start to slip as you get near 350 wtq / 400 whp on a DynoJet. At the power levels you're planning to make, you will annihilate the stock clutch.

You might get away with little over a year of use on the stock clutch by avoiding WOT applications below 3500rpm and WOT in gears higher than 3rd. No launching!
I am at 6 months right now, the six puck in there before lasted about 1 year but the stock one used now is holding up, albeit, never WOT below 3500 rpm or above 3rd. I dont even do 3rd gear pulls for logging, their either a 2nd gr or a 1-2-3.
Also, do not cut the stock flywheel, just finish it by hand, if you can, till it's smooth and spend a good $80 for a precision balancing (they might have to cut the center hole to fit the machine though).
It's a big sacrafice running the stocker, but the drivability is good and I paid less than $200 for everything (not including $100 worth of beer I drank in the garage)

I have a GT30R kit around 23psi, which is around 400whp. My clutch still grabs like it was new. 30k miles!
I beat the **** out of my clutch, as far all roll on throttle and stuff. Its alot tougher then people say it is. I rev match and everything though which might help prolong the life of mine.

I have never launched my car, I still have a stock clutch with about that much power.

Stocker can hold fine by avoiding torque and drag racing (which destroys more expensive stuff). Think of it as a $200 replacable fuse that takes a little work to replace. I've gone through 3
