It all depends on how much you boost, but it's really how much torque you're producing.
What is your current clutch rated at?
I don't really know what the exedy stage 2 clutch is rated at, but it should be around 210 to 270 ft/lbs of torque. Someone can probably answer this.
As of right now you are fine, but once you start boosting higher and getting mad torque your current clutch will have to be upgraded.
GOOD LUCK!!!

I'm running that same clutch going on 4 years/12000 miles. I have a very short but sweet comute to work. I rape it to 80-100mph everyday almost and stil holds strong. I'm putting down 250whp on a stock block b16 at 10psi. That clutch is rated at 275tq. I bought for around $250. on ebay way back then, not bad.

Like i said in my earlier post, i have the Exedy 2 and have run it for 2 years ~300whp without issue. For my new build, i am upgrading to something else though. I dont want to risk having to pull the engine again because i toasted my clutch. I'm deciding between the Clutchmasters FX400 and the Competition Clutch Stage 4/5.
