It might hold for alittle bit but i wouldnt count on it for a long time. I would spend the money and buy a good clutch that yo know will hold

I sprayed my car on stock clutch with a 100/125 shot clutch never slipped. I replaced the clutch when the tranny needed to be rebuilt. I say spray it

Btw i was only able to spray like 3 bottles thru the stock clutch, but it held fine. Im preety sure it will start slipping sooner or later but theres only one way to test it out.

My car with a catback, lid and a 150 shot had something like 560 torque... I'm sure with drag radials it wont take much of a beating before it starts to slip...I did clutch and nitrous at the same time though so I can't speak from personal experience...

ofcourse it depends on the condition of the clutch. Theres a chance it will slip and a chance it wont its just something you have to do to see. a stock clutch in good condition will take 125shot &drag radials i had nitto dr's

Would not chance the previous owner, clutches are some what inexpensive, compared to a tranny rebuild.
