Default F/I without aftermarket clutch/flywheel???

Can you supercharge or TT the Z without swapping out the clutch? Will it hold the power or no??? I know you should but i've been seeing peoples mod list in their sigs and some with F/I don't have an aftermarket clutch. Help me out here.

I've got the stock clutch still with my stillen, and it is holding up to 6k clutch drops on M/T ET Streets with no problem.

I still got the stock clutch/flywheel with my Greddy TT. Pushing 450whp + on it and a day at the track with 12 runs, not broken yet.

Yeah, Bill, but you're *trying* to break it. Stuff never breaks when someone is trying to do so.

The feedback I am getting is that at 380whp 420tq the stock clutch will show some slip under agressive shifting...

I;'m not doubting that it will go sooner than normal, I had a 400hp Z32 and the clutch was fried at 30k, but so far, this one is doing good.

My stock clutch cant take repeated abuse. But if you drive and shift semi-normally on the street...it's probably OK for a while. Mine has 10,000 and it's toast...I have a CM Stage III sitting on my shelf, awaiting install.
