Default Clutch TQ capacity ratings

I never really got a clear answer to this before. I bought a CM stage 4 6 puck sprung. it has a rating of 170% over stock. lets say a gsr makes 130 tq so does that mean

130 * 1.7 = 221
or
221 + 130 (stock) = 351

130 x 1.7 yes.
or
130 x 170% works also on a calculator with a %key.

that's just great , the guys at cm told me the other way around 221+130. my car makes 335 tq so that means it prob won't hold.

if it holds 170% over stock it would be 130 x 2.7 if it holds 170% of the stock capacity that means 70% more.

yeah and it seems more rational that a stage 4 clutch would be able to hold more than 220 ft/lbs anyways. also even though a stock gsr makes 130 ft/lbs doesnt mean that thats all the clutch can handle. not sure on actual ratings but who knows

130 x 170% is incorrect. The correct method is 130 + 170%

i think he was explaining how to calculate 170% of 130. not saying that was the torque rating.
