Default Need some advice

I took my car to the track on friday night and quickly discovered that i need a clutch. I have a centerforce dual friction in the car now, but it can not handle the power i'm throwing at it. If i drive on the street it's fine, but with slicks and 5000 rpm launches, it won't hold. I'm making about 600hp at the flywheel, and I'm looking for advice on a clutch that will hold the power, but not be toohard onmy leg. I drive the car on the street way more than at the track, so I don't really want a crazy race clutch. Any advice would be helpful. The car is a 91 gt with a 306 dss motor, and a tremec tko with 26 spline. By the way the car went 12.30 at 126mph! 2.3 60'(there's the problem)

I use the SPEC stage 3. The have a 6 and 4 puck design. I have the 6 puck. It's a little more street friendly. 5500 rpm launche's and not a bit of slip.

I'm pretty sure 486qhp does not equal 600bhp. at any rate, if you like the feel of the centerforce maybe try the CFX, supposed to have the same feel as the dual friction but handle way more power. A guy on here Pro50sc really likes his.
