Im running a competition 1620, 6 puck.. still in break in period, 50 miles more miles till VTEC time.
The pedal feels lighter than stock, grips quickly.. but not hard like an ACT if that makes sense.
My goal for now is whatever this clutch can handle, +400 whp?

I'm really unqualified to answer this question but my guess is that the stock clutch may be adequate but other things like the transmission, driveline ,rearend and axles will take the higher end of the abuse of the added power. During normal driving the clutch should never see the added power and if treated reasonably could see no more than normal wear..\
Edit- From my past experience with a hotrodded Ford and if I had it to do over again, I'd lose the temptation to ever use 1st gear again. With 350 hp you wont need it and this is the gear that will go first if you don't stay away from it. But then again, lets see what the guys who have added this kind of power have to say.

as for clutches look in to the PP that's very important. i personally have had a Clutchmaster FX400 Stage 4 6 puck and that pedal was a beast but omg would it grip, Currently i am running a ACT HD 6 Puck setup with a clutchmaster 8lb flywheel and i love it, has a very nice feel to the pedal.
