Can a stock dual mass clutch handle 600 hp ?

I figured this subject will benefit many people just starting out on their mods. I am working on mine, but coming to terms with a stage 2 clutch disc, do i need to get out of the dual mass flywheel and into a lightweight? I would probably like to keep it on but dont want it blowing apart my tranny if something happens in there. . .

((upgrading to milltek, k24's, headers, vflow, giac iv, some form of stage 2 clutch sachs... ))

My car seems to do fine on stock clutch. Mu experience with other (non porsche) cars is that the most street able setup is a stiffer pressure plate with stock disk.

Has anybody some experiences when stock clutch slips?
I made today 3 pretty hard starts in a row and in second gear it slips about 1 second?
After cooling down everything works fine
Do I need order new clutch KIT today or helps skiping this dragracing for a while?(I mean 2-3 starts, with no pauses)
At moment I can get this KIT cheaper https://shop.fvd.de/?VID=158262&VCD=...Body=&CarYear=

Oh yes, my 911tt is almoust stock, olny new chip (about 500hp now), but I plan to install new turbos, nitro and etc....about 800hp and get 10 sec time in quarter mile.
Or is there better clutchs available?

After I had Kevin UMW flash and my OEM clutch constantly slipping in 3rd/4th. I upgraded to his Kevlar disc and LWF that supposed to hold 800hp+ and for hard launch. Requires 500 miles breakin though.
