IMHO, the stock clutch can handle any bolt on mod fine. If you got frisky and did na upgrades like higher compression and some big valves, you might start overwhelming the stock clutch. It could be slightly firmer than it is now, but I drive pretty hard and it holds up fine.
But get boost/nos/sc and I think you would have to start being carefull w/ the clutch. Although the short time I had boost, I had no problems. But I didn't do hard starts or hard shifts. Just less than WOT in gear acceleration.

: My clutch sucks.
: It's the same one that has been on the car since I got it (2 years, 30k miles) and I dont know how much older than that it is. It was never that good when I got the car and I basically learned to drive a stick on this car so that didn't help either. It works allright for normal driving but slips pretty bad if I try to push it.

: I've got Y pipe and intake and my car; maybe UDP in the future but not a whole lot else planned powerwise.

: I was thinking I would go with ACT clutch but I was reading a bunch of posts on .org regarding ACT clutch and got the impression that it's pretty rough for everyday driving. I know there is some tradeoff for a performance clutch but I dont want something that is a pain to drive around all the time especially when I'm in Atlanta traffic.

: Anyone with ACT, what do you guys think about your clutches? Worth it or not? Matt, I say you posted some initial impressions but haven't heard anything lately. John, still happy with your switch back to OEM?

: Also, anyone have either clutch for sale? :)
