Both the clutch and the transmission have to be treated with care. I can't imagine the stock clutch lasting too long in this application. Our Tripoint SC cars run the ATC HD clutch with Fedenza flywheel.
I am surprised that the Komo-tec system doesn't have a front mounted heat exchanger fan. There is a lot of fluid in the intercooler system to cool off when one is not at speed...huge thermal mass. Why not add a fan.

So I think it also depends how the car is pushed and treated. On a race track I could imagine the standard clutch would not last very long, for normal road driving could be ok.
What's you experience?
