Theres a stock block record. You can probable push 400hp on the stock block but to be safe 300.

doing clutches will become more routine with more power. if you plot the independant variable as HP, and the dependant as clutch jobs, (or drivetrain, or other stuff that wears, brakes, rings anything wear related...) you will find that they are not quite linearly related. more like exponentially. ex. at 200 chp, you can expect a long healthy life with normal service intervals. add 100hp, stuff is gonna need changing probably a little sooner. add 100 more and your looking forward to major maintenence every 2 years or so. add 100 more , and your probably swapping clutches every year add another 500 hp on top of that and your changing parts every 1/4 mile. and thats where the limit ends up. The limit (of reliability/maintenance) as HP approaches infinity, is the quarter mile or slightly less. (the car will always make a 1/4 mile, they have tow trucks, and/or you can push... either way you car will find its way off the track)
