Not with GMS1, stock clutch will be fine.

I have the 23 PSI Trifecta tune and almost full bolt-ons and it will slip in the cold weather(below about 65 degrees)

Ive got 15700k on my balt. Believe it or not, it used to slip way more when new than it does now. Well, it does when its cold, but just barely. But honestly I cant remeber when it last slipped and I drive it pretty hard. I had a fun run the other night from third and it did not slip at all. It depends on how powerful your tune is and how much tq your pushing.

It's not the horsepower that is the limiting factor for a clutch it's the torque. And the general consensus seems to be that anything over 340WTQ you should consider a stronger clutch if you want to put all your power down to the ground especially in the higher gears.

I assume a part of it will also depend how you drive your car.

Like doing wide open throttle from low rpm all the time probably dont help. I try to not do that !
So far so good on trifecta 22psi, sometimes in cold morning it will slip, i think it is... or its a minimal tire slip, i cant say...
