What does everyone think about a stock KA clutch handling a 75hp shot of laughing gas?

I have a NOS kit laying around, and wanted to slap it on the KA, but the only problem I see lies within the clutch.

thoughts?

Gonna pull the exhaust, throw in a walbro 255, 370's, (already have SAFC), and the 75 shot. I've never played with nitrous on the KA, only KA-T, so I thought why not just throw it on my beater 240.

With the way the power is instant the stock clutch is going to slip or the tires are going to go nuts. If its one of the newer kits that fluters the jet or jets you might be about to get away with it since it can ease on the juice. Keep it below 50 and hit it in third and hope.

traction should be fine

there's only one way to find out........

just do it.... and if it needs a new clutch, well then it needs a new clutch lol

or are you trying to avoid buying a clutch for it?

if it slips one time, just let it cool down and don't try it again, it won't kill... shouldn't..... with one slip
