I have the same question, but i'm more worried about the block. Mainly seeing rods go through blocks with even just 400hp (E85/cams/injectors/tbe/intake/walbro255) which is the build I have, but only have the tbe and intake installed.
My main concern is blowing up the block since I DD my evo, and i know that not everyone blows them up and people have made more power without problems, so i'm wondering is it in the driving? Spark plug going bad? Injector? Also head studs would be installed too. I only asked because my buddy sent his rod through the block after only a few weeks on e85 =\

also don't drive her like you stole it, and keep her well maintained and you should be fine. (i do oil every 3k miles, drivetrain flush every 5k, spark plugs every 10k- the little cost of maintenance is cheaper than blowing any of the drivetrain components up).

I do drivetrain every 15k or a little less and at same power levels as everyone else that has posted and have had no issues. I'm on a clutchmasters stage 4 6 puck and act prolite but all drivetrain is stock. The one thing you should also do when you do the clutch is the stm clutch fork stop.

good call and thanks for the reassurance, I've just been saving up for 2+ years and still paying it off, and I would miss it far too much if something were to happen O.o..

Think of it like this you going to want more power im at the same road, upgrade everything you can to make your life easier down the road. Replace your clutch and get all supporting mods to meet your goal. Build it now to have a longer lasting evo than wait to the last minute to replace oart by part.
Im getting a 6 puck act clutch It will hold the power I want in the future not to mention it will last me a long time
