Stock 951 clutch hp/torque rating?
The clutch in my 86 951 was replaced about a year ago, I'm assuming that it was replaced with a stock unit. whats a realistic power figure that I can get without overpowering the stock unit? Or do i not even need to worry about it unless i'm making 400+ at the wheels? I'd like to make 300hp at the wheels and leave it at that.

You'll start seeing a stock clutch/pressure plate start slipping at around 325whp. I had a cup clutch with stock pressure plate, and it was unusable at 400whp. In fact, day to day my car makes around 350whp on low boost, and it melted the clutch disc in 2 months time. Just got a stronger pressure plate ordered, we'll see how it holds up.
