I am running the Spoon clutch and pressure plate alone with the SC..
however, I found that when I am at WOT, the power doesn't seem to transfer the power to wheel smoothly!! but, when I am at 50% of throttle, the power gets transfer to wheel much faster than the WOT..!! I wonder is it because the pressure plate? if it is, do you think it will be fine if I go with Mugen pressure plate? Any recommendation is welcome! thanks!!

What made you think it's not the SC that's the problem?

Sounds to me like your clutch is failing (slipping) under the S/C power under your driving conditions. This could be caused by several factors that aren't important at this stage. If you are going to change the PP, might as well change the disc too and check the flywheel at the same time. If it's beginning to slip now, chances are that the disc won't last long.

I don't think the Spoon clutch has the capacity for a S/C. You should upgrade your Pressure Plate and Disc.

When mine goes and hopefully it won't for a while, I plan to get an ACT disc. Nothing fancy, just an ordinary re-worked stock disc. But the important thing is I'll get a heavy duty PP with as much clamping force as is made for this car.
