New Clutch?

I have a 3200 gsk, a 16cm housing, and some POD's en route to my house.....is this too much power for the stock clutch? I'm hoping its just right

The stock clutch gets a bad rap, they are a tough clutch if you DO NOT HEAT THEM UP. My only complaint is that they are kind of grabby when starting to move a heavy load at least in my experiance.

Mine is pretty smooth, I take off in 1st when hauling or if i'm on any sort of hill.....but when i take off in 2nd with no load it still seems a little "luggy"....but overall its cake to drive compared to other stick shifts (Z28 ) or my '07 4.10
