Default New Clutch?

I am planning no turboing my car and shooting for around the 230-250hp and 200-ish lbs/torque range and was wondering if my stock clutch would hold up to that? what is a rough estimate of what a stock clutch will hold up steady until?

thanks

If you are going for a lot of HP and torque, you need to get a stage 2 or 3 clutch. I would say that kevlar isn't even worth, might as well upgrade to ceramic clutch.
The reason is that the stock one could shatter or slip endlessly with that much HP.

Torque kills clutches, not horsepower. And a turbo f series makes alot of it.
