If the tuner torque limits your car during the tuning process, your stock clutch will be fine up to around 530-540whp, which puts the car around 430ish torque. Anything beyond that you are going to burn through the clutch rapidly. At least that is from my elementary understanding.

A better flowing turbo and E are just tools to get more power. The art is in the tuning. See @Jester04

I just did a 570+ car on stock clutch and so far it is holding fine for the time being. Torque is around 450. Trick is to not lug the engine and create a high load low rpm situation when the torque hits. That initial stress is brutal. But eventually the stock clutch will fail.
