Unhappy clutch slipping

Ok I know that this has been disscused a millon times but I cant find the info I am looking for threw the search. my problem Is that I running forced induction and I am putting down 421hp and my act clutch Is not holding up anymore. It was doing fine for the first 1,000 or so miles but now It Is slipping. so Im thinking the cheapest route for me would be to take out the street/strip disc and step up to a puck disc rather than buying a whole new clutch kit from say clutch masters. I dont have alot of money right now I just want to get the power back to the ground.
any info would be great.

Thanks Brian.

im making 360ft/lb on racefuel with that same clutch no issues. How much torque are you putting to the wheels? Its rated at like 380-390 ft/lb.

thats odd man, well yea you could just use a puck disk with it and that would increase its holding ability to over 400 ft/lb i would bet.

no to puck. readjust your clutch rod. i bet its adjusted wrong.

otherwise, clutchmasters stage 3

but i would readjust first. theres a video on this site of a dude doing the adjustment, its supereasy and makes a world of sense

I dont think that Is the issue. It does not slip until I get to higher rpms under full boost.

if its not adjusted right, then its not fully engaging either. its worth a try, cause its FREE

otherwise, clutchmasters stage 3 will def hold that power. u make hi 200+ tq right?

watch this video and try what he says. worst case you still replace the clutch. but worth a shot.
