Spoon Clutch Kit good for S/C?
My car has Spoon PP and Spoon full face clutch disk+Spoon FW.
It was installed about 8000miles ago and it is running without any problem.
I'm getting S/C soon, and most likely i will be running stock pully.
Do I need to upgrade my clutch?
Spoons says their clutch is capable with additional 30%(?) compare to stock.
250hp*1.30=325hp..which is slightly less than what S/C makes.
I see people with stock clutch with S/C...
but I heard that it's PITA to get clutch job done once S/C is installed.
so what should I do? just stick with what I have? or upgrade?
Which set up is good for S/C?

As for the second part of your sentence, yes, it is a little more complicated to do a clutch job with a supercharger bolted to the front of the engine. Some guys have done it without having to mess with it by slanting the engine/tranny down at the back and leaving the front of the cradle alone. Even if you felt that you had to remove the S/C, it would only involve perhaps an extra hour on each end of the job.
As for whether or not to change the clutch now, you need to ask yourself another bunch of questions:
How is your clutch working right now? Was it put in not long ago? Should you go to the expense and effort to change an "OK" clutch just because you want to save a couple of hours work? Only you can answer these questions.
