have you ever used a paddle clutch before? they can be a bit harder on the left leg, and are more snappy than a normal clutch. im sure there will be
tuners out there that sell uprated clutches that arent paddle type

My Son got a paddle clutch from Larkspeed for his sierra cosworth and it felt just like a standard cossy clutch
good price too
ps that was about 5 years ago

210 bhp with some slip! wow
From where I was standing beside the rolers it looked like it was spinning the wheels when the turbo kicked in rather than the clutch spinning.
Does it slip on the road?

Have noticed it slipping in fourth on full boost a couple of times but only very slightly, obbiously the dyno puts it under more load.
