I don't think you will have issues with the clutch, but you will eventually need to change your spark plugs to a step colder

When I consulted with Mike at BPM.. he wrote the following:

Being that you have a 2013, I would also highly recommend replacing the plugs and coils, and we carry the appropriate replacements in stock. The coils are factory OEM coils (a newer revision), and the plugs are NGK and one step colder - they are much better than the stock Bosch plugs which are prone to failure.

Hope that helps...

so i can run factory plugs(i just got new ones) but they will fail quickly? and not give as much power as a step colder?

I had a stage 2 dinan tune for 9 months and then went with a BPM Sport stage 1. My clutch started to slip after about 3 months. I went with a SSP clutch and have had it for a year. Pulls like a train

Did have to replace plugs after about 10-15k which helped a lot. Went NGK

Yes, they will fail faster now. You could wait another 5-10k then go a step colder
