[s-cars] New RS2 setup too much for stock clutch?

[Pasqualoni, James E]

I used a Sachs sport 6-puck clutch when I RS2'd.  Worked very nicely, although my left quad quickly dwarfed my right...

So I have been full RS2 for about 2 weeks now.  I honestly did  not feel the 
car was as fast as my old mtm 1+ setup but really hadn't had the  car out on 
the thruway or parkway to really open it up and let it stretch its  legs.
 
I did tighten down the wastegate nut 3 turns from stock since I felt maybe  
the wastegate was causing it to dump boost.
 
So this weekend took the car up to the cape.  Floor it in third gear  from a 
roll and watch the revs rise disproportionate to the acceleration as the  
clutch slips and then eventually grabs.  Then later floor it @ 70 mph in  5th gear 
trying to get in front of slower moving traffic as my lane was ending  and 
the revs just skyrocket.
 
Car has 90k and clutch was replaced at the stealer by P.O. @ 50k  miles.
 
I didn't expect this.
 
What are my options, Spec or Centerforce?
 
Thanks,
Dave
