every lil bit just reduces the life expectancy of your clutch but who knows....it could hold up to 500 HP for all you know...driving style plays a huge role in it too.

torquer v3 and you're only at low 382??
thats what i made (with more torque) with several problems in the car.
not sure those heads will get you to 440 if you're setup now is only 383.
but anyway....i highly doubt that clutch will hold for long. it may drive fine around town, but on a WOT run i'd bet it would start slipping.
my stock clutch slipped at the top end after my cam was installed.
