Scott, 
Have you tried the AP racing clutch disc (stock size)? Very smooth engagement, 
claimed increase in torque capacity over stock disc.

I?ve apparently reached beyond the limits of a stock pressure plate and a 
traditional/organic material clutch disc.  I was getting unacceptable clutch 
slip at the Kastner Cup initially on the 3-4 and then on the 2-3 shifts, to the 
point I could not apply full power.  It?s not oil, just heat and power, as the 
clutch disc has only a few events on it.  I?ve got over 180 hp at the 
crankshaft.

What sources have you all found for uprated components?  I?m willing to change 
flywheels.  Should I consider a small diameter, solid center/multi-disc racing 
clutch?  With the close ratio gears and welded diff, I need to do a fair amount 
of clutch slip around the paddock, and am also concerned about how the on-off 
nature of one these might further stress the differential.
