Default need clutch advise!!!!

so i put a bbk fuel pump,trick flow 75mm tb,steeda egr delete,mallory 6 box,aeromotive f.p reg.set timing ,tps,and idle. runs awsome.so i took my friend for a ride, at the lowest boost setting . (7ish psi).in second gear and punched it.... smoke from tires followed . cool i thought. till i stopped and smelled clutch.bad.now i cant even hot rod around without it slipping.i used to could floor it with 12 psi. and it just take off.more power good.....weak clutch bad... thinking of c4 down the road.this summer will still be 5 speed.

so what is the best holding,,,,fairest priced,,,,replacement clutch out there. i have the "cobra" clutch now.
3.73 gear
275 45 17 bfg drag radials
mostly weekend tooling around .
some track time when clutch goes in.

how much hp are you running with that car by the way that will dictate if you need a stage 2 or 3

was at 498 at rear wheels with upgrades should be at 520 ish. so figure 15% drivetrain loss. should equal= 598hp at flywheel.i was looking at ram powergrip hd or dual friction centerforce. i wonder if my factory flywheel resurfaced will be good enough??????
