Have you tried using the search option?
I'm almost 100% positive this has been discussed before.

Believe me, we don't usually help people that can't help themselves.
GoodLuck!

well... i have a maxima clutch kit from autozone, so far it holds up to 260

if you can afford to upgrade..do it.

Maybe try looking into something called the 'White Bunny clutch'... OEM parts mixed & matched to handle 400-500rwhp. It's an inexpensive and useful upgrade.

for future reference, clutches hold torque, not HP.

Stock ones don't work well over 250 ft*lb. If you look at descriptions of aftermarket "stage 1" and "stage 2", you can get an idea of where the stock clutch isn't.

I would really suggest RPS Max Clutches... They are single diaphram clutches that hold on their street disc about 495 FT/LB of torque and their pucked clutches hold over 500 FT/LB. I am using that on a fully built sr20 with a gt2871R.... I used those crappy Exedy stage 2 and I destroyed that in about 6 - 9 months. I have had this RPS Max Clutch from Edgar and it has held for more than 1.5 years and I have cams on the car and no problem.

Price point is about $450 I think, which is comparable to the Exedy stage 2 - 3puck ceramatellic which is about $400. Otherwise if that RPS doesn't hold you going to need to go OS Giken.... Hope this helps.
