This may have been asked before or whatever, so i apologise...
But what is the most amount of power anyone has ran on a standard XUD clutch?

About 160bhp 240ft lbs I would say is starting to push things.

Would say mine was running more torque than that. Pretty sure Ruan was on a standard clutch too!

Genuine valeo is the tried and tested standard clutch on XUD's, i would get one of them if you can.
Doesnt even own a 306.

low boost lynx chargers run std clutches at 250+ bhp.

I didnt say that. But a XUD making 250bhp will tear up valeo in a few seconds....more due to the huge wack in torque.
Guaranteed a low boost lynx gti6 wont make torque like a tuned XUD would

313lb.ft but it'd slip like an arse! Promptly followed by the coolant tank being emptied as it felt like the coolant passages were basically another exhaust.
I'd say your limit is 270-280lb.ft - but it totally depends how you drive... Frankly anyone without mechanical sympathy would have a clutch on a car making >300lb.ft, the clutch would last less than a day... You've just got to be extra careful with it, you can't expect to do 2nd gear starts, hold it on the clutch in traffic then put full power through it - it's NOT going to put up with that kind of abuse...
I can't tell you how clutch sympathetic you are, only you will know - if you're hard on them, don't even bother with a stock clutch, frankly nor a CG clutch, if you slip them, they will last 5 minutes - they're designed to only hold the power once gripping, not slipping.
