Clutch

I follow a lot of the mod threads here trying to determine what I want to do with my car as I am able to. My question is, I have seen many threads about moding almost every component of our cars, but have yet to see anyone put in an aftermarket clutch. Are the clutches in our cars good enough to handle even major increases in HP? Have any of you who drive them hard on the strip noticed and wear or fade in your clutch since it was new? Anyone have any insight or put in a new clutch?

Mine seems fine still.. I am replacing it next week with a SPEC stage 2 though just because i happen to be putting in an aluminum flywheel anyways so why not? Plus i got the adjustable Steeda clutch quadrant cable kit & a bunch of other stuff while the motor is lifted :THUMBSUP:

i always joke with my mom that if she wants to learn how to dive stick i will teacher her if she buys me a new clutch. i don't think the stock clutch could take bothe her and me learnin how to drive stick on it. my clutch has taken a lot of abuse from a first time stick driver and seems to be holding up pretty good.
