OEM clutch questions?

Does the oem clutch hold up againts simple bolt ons. For example exhaust ,intake, and simple ecu re-flash. I dont want nothing crazy just the basic bolt ons to let the engine breath better and be as solid as any daily can be.

What is the max tq a stock evo8 clutch can handle on a day to day basis. No hard launchings, maybe some pulls here and there but thats it.

You could always remove the restrictor pill from the slave cylinder to give the stock clutch a little more life.
