Could i get away with?

HEy guys i will be making the change to e85 shortly and i was wondering if i could get away with using the stock clutch for a few months? i am expecting around 400whp and no clue on tq numbers. Im currently making 350whp and my clutch is 100% fine. I baby my car never launch it and rarley hit full boost....Could i get away with it?

I think you could get away with it for more than a few months.

launch and riding the clutch is what kills it

if you can drive properly (and maturely ) you will be fine...

If that's the case, then you'll be ok. Don't overheat the clutch by riding it, and you'll be fine.
