160 - 180bhp, 300ft/lb torque

I'm sure you've read other posts but i'd recommend Shark STS unit - if the clutch starts to slip you could simply remove the map from the comfort of your seat & then reapply it if and when you get a stronger clutch I'm ordering mine on Wednesday I beleive the STS unit is 165 bhp and 280lbs of torque which im told is sensible and perhaps erring on the side of caution

It's not just how much torque though, it's also how you use it. If you floor the throttle from 1700rpm with 300lbft then you will wear down the clutch very fast indeed, but do the same from 2500rpm and there will be no problem. It's about stressing components as much as absolute numbers.

Around 280 seems to be max. I don't see the point of having more but avoid using it.

I hit the max with my clutch last night. I set it to inject 61mg at 2.5k. Result. It slipped lol. So need to lower it a little. Saying that my clutch has done over 100k miles.
