How much power can you put through said clutch before it fails?

The same clutch is used on a lot of the models so it's good for at least twice the power if not more.
Gearbox may also be a worry depending on what is fitted, could be F10 or F13, meaning 100 or 130 ft/lb of torque.

my friends actually used a 1.2 8v clutch and pressure plate on an xe nova on carbs, it uses a modified flywheel and 4 speed box and tops out pretty quick but it tends to last 200miles plus of hard track abuse
