Default Help with clutch

I have a Competition clutch(gravity series)that works really good, but the drivibility isn't good. Taking off is rough, it either stalls or hesitates. I pretty much have to rev to take off. Is there a clutch that I can get that would be smoother? The only problem is finding one that can handle 400hp. If anyone can help, that would be great. thanks.

I am using an ACT street clutch and a Fidenza lightened flywheel, an awesome combination !!! It's a little noiser and you have to rev a little more in traffic on a hill but it goes upstairs FAST. One trick I have found with Honda clutches is to cut the pressure plate surface .002 more than the spec, it gives me pedal an inch off the floor, hooks up better and no slip on blastoff.

You can try something like Exedy hyper single or Cusco hyper single. All these clutches will handle up to 400-600 hp.

What kind of feel do they have? I drive my car almost daily, until I can find a good beater, that is.
