Stock clutch limit?

Anyone know the limits of a stock X clutch? Im making about 330hp and my best et drag racing is 13.1 but I can trap as high as 108. Is my clutch slipping or am I just a bad driver?
Also, with a mph of 108 what do you think my et should be? Any ideas? Thanks.

Clutches have nothing to do with horsepower. They are rated by torque. Torque really doesn't matter too much when you are burning it up on the launch.

Your ET should be 12.7-12.8.

Best way to save your clutch is to learn how 2 launch it once you get tha down your set

My torque is 341. I tried the 2 step once and the clutch slipped pretty bad so I went back to my method of bringing up the rpms to about 5k then a quick release not a drop. It seems if I have the rpms up too high with some boost building it slips and if I lower the rpms it just bogs.
Whats the torque rating on the stock clutch? Anyone know?
While typing this out I guess I answered my next question. Do I need a new clutch? The answer is yes if I want to do any more drag racing.
Thanks for your input.
