Default Clutch question

I may be asking a dumb question but, I ordered a stage 4 competition clutch 6 puck for my build. I'm going to go boost once I break the motor in and make sure it's all going to run right.

Would there be any negative effects using this clutch with a basically stock motor? The motor is 100% rebuilt forged pistons/rods lsvtec setup.

Should I just buy a regular cheap clutch for break in period or can I use the stage 4 without a problem?

Nope. You'll need to break it in anyway. Whether or not the car is "ready for boost" is irrelevant as the break-in procedure is the same. 400 miles or so, street driving, slow and steady. Highway miles don't count towards that.

The only dumb question out there is the one never asked.

Alright, I was more or less worried about the clutch overpowering weaker components I guess? Haha, so I should be fine using the stage 4 clutch from the get go?
