yep, that's the deal I heard when I called a little over a year ago.
Essentially they take your stock pressure plate and they add weights to the
"fingers" in order to put more pressure on the clutch assembly. They do some
other stuff too supposedly but that's the basic idea. Cost is $300 + the
cost of a new clutch + pressure plate to send to them. I decided against it
and went with stock MC. No complaints.

Yep, your MC clutch should be fine up to 300 HP. Maybe even 350 or more?
Javad I believe is still running an MC clutch in his 80tq with WAY more power
that what's in my car right now.
