Exedy stage 1 clutches are advertised to hold 40% more torque than stock. Stock is 115hp, so 115x1.4= 161 ft/lbs of toque. Considering that most 7As run about the same amount of torque as HP when turboed, 200hp will be around 200ft/lbs of torque if not more. I would not put a 161ft/lb rated clutch on a 200ft/lb engine, unless your idea of fun is tearing your transmission out and replacing a brand new clutch that you just bought with a slightly more expensive one that you should have gotten the first time around.

just as a reference... I love my Exedy Stage 2. it's a 3 puck style but has a good number of springs to compensate. it's a little rough at first but once you get like 500 miles on it it'll wear in and once you get used to it you can drive it pretty smoothly.
