That's why I want a clutch that can take slippage and not crap out on me, cause that's how you use a heavy wheel. My engine only revs to 6500, the heavier flywheel keeps the revs nice and smooth, and the torque good when off boost.

I'm considering combining a stage 3 6 puck disc with the lighter, stock pressure plate, that might give me the greater bite I want without going nuts.
The pressure plate is the part that holds the torque, whereas the clutch disc itself is more about engagment, and mating strength. If you stay stock on the pressure plate, you may end up with premature wear on the clutch, since it wil have to provide more of the gripping force than intended to.
