[Fot] Clutch suggestions?

[Barr, Scott]

Since we built my Spitfire in 2003, I've been using the stock clutch and
pressure plate.  Late last season, Mr. Barker did a head for me.   Since
then, I've had a little clutch slip.  This is a pretty new clutch plate,
but the pressure plate is of unknown age - has worked fine to date, but
everything wears out eventually, right?



Any thoughts on the cause?  Is it likely the increased torque/HP is just
overpowering the clutch?  The new motor should be putting out something
like 110-115HP, based on Mr. Barker's estimate.  Is that beyond what the
stock clutch can handle?



Options: (1) buy a new stock pressure plate and clutch disk and see how
it goes; (2) upgrade to some sort of competition clutch; or (3) get used
to that nasty clutch smell.  Other options I'm not considering?



I'd like to stay as close to stock as possible if I need to upgrade.



Any thoughts on upgrade options?
