Clutch Suggestions...

Hey guys, I recently bought an evo 8 with a few mods, and my clutch is just starting to slip. It drives fine until I get into the boost, then it slips for a second and then grabs. It really only does it at full boost.(over 4500 rpm) But I know once they start to go, it doesn't take long for full failure. My question is this: with the mods I have, which clutch is best suited for my needs?
The car has an ARC intake, Buschur turbo back 3 inch exhaust, HKS 272 cams, and walbro pump. Tuned on pump gas. (92) The car supposedly has around 330hp. I cannot verify these numbers, but I am getting her on a dyno very soon to get her tuned, and possibly reflashed.
Now I have been told that the stock clutch should hold up well if I dont launch the car often. Any truth to this? If not, what would you suggest?
Thanks for helping an evo noob out!

If your gonna stick to that power level of 330ish, and not go up much, then go with either an Exedy stage 1 organic or ACT street setup. They both are easier to drive with smoother engagement and pedal pressure. If your thinking of upgrading to more power in the future (400+), then I would get something beefier like the Exedy twin disc.
