Default runnin with slicks and a cheap clutch?

just wondering if the clutch would hold up. I recently put in a new clutch, some cheap generic brand i know, but i didnt have money at the time and my stock clutch wouldnt even grab anymore.

anyways, would the clutch hold up if I run with "cheater" slicks? My friend just bought 2 sets and said i could use one the next track day. The engine is only a D16Y8 with intake and headers and cam and a milled head.

on a side note, about the first 10 miles I drive the car , I get alot of clutch chatter, is that because i might have gotten a high performance clutch without knowing it or is it just cus its new?

Thanks again.

your stock clutch will hold up fine with the slicks on it. i used to race an 86 crx si with a stock clutch, integra pistons, and a racing cam and no problems with the clutch when the slicks were on it. as for the chattering noise, that usually means the clutch and flywheel are not balanced. i hate to say this, but i would take the clutch and flywheel back out and have them balanced. or at least to check to make sure there is nothing wrong with the clutch.

Really depends on how you drive- if you abuse it- any clutch can be damaged.
