extra power and slip clutch

Hey BD, I just read Spork's thread in the General Forum about his installation of the PCIII and a BAK. He claims LOTS of new power and stated that he would have to start a "new tire fund" which would lead one to believe that the rear tire is breaking loose and burning off the line with enough throttle. That got me to thinking about our slipper clutches and what this much power would do to the clutch plates. Does the clutch just slip on the downshift to prevent wheel lock up or does it also slip when we are stirring the grears? Should people who make these intake mods also consider a clutch mod to prevent slipping or does that not matter?
Thanks, Idaho
