Default Stock clutch power capacity

Hey guys I've got an 01 SS with 106k mi. I'm planning on camming it in a month or two and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get away with running the stock clutch. As of now its just got long tubes, 3" exhaust and a tune. The clutch holds up fine now but after the cam I'm estimating being close to 400 rwhp. The only trouble I've had with it is after I run the car hard a time or two the clutch pedal is almost on the floor but still works. If anyone has a little insight it would be much appreciated. I don't want to get up on the dyno to tune the cam and the clutch not hold up. Thanks!

Yeah I'm just not sure if I wanna gamble on luck when I'm trying to tune it. I'm planning on attending a dyno day here in Tulsa this Saturday and doing a couple of pulls to get a baseline. I guess that'll give me a good idea of what might happen.

Well I broke down and got a new clutch on the way so I guess it doesn't matter how strong the stock on is Ordered a Monster Stage 3 so I shouldnt have to worry about making to much power anytime soon.
