I am also interested in this, I am mapped to 269bhp and 308lbft, its torque that kills the clutch anyway.
my Clutch OEM and is just on the limit, have had a few slips already but just changed my driving style to get round it.

I am not sure of the official rating though.

I have a Jabba stg 2 Remap on my LCR and have had it on there for 2yrs, my OEM clutch copes fine. Upon collection of the car from Jabba i asked this question and they told me the clutch will not have a problem running the remap.

Theres no hard and fast rule for the clutch.
Look after it and its been proved to cope with 330ft-lbs.
Work it hard and it'll fail quick
