Clutch material. kevlar or organic?

I'm replacing the clutch in my 3.5 and debating between the Clutchmasters stage 1 (organic) and the stage 2 or 3 (both kevlar).

I have most of the boltons and computer work but no forced induction. My last dyno has me putting 235 pounds torque at the wheels. The car is my daily driver which I run at the track a few times a month. I do use drag radials when running at the track. My stock clutch started slipping soon after I added the drag radials to the mix. I think the extra traction was too much.

I've heard people had problems with the kevlar slipping when racing but I don't know how true it is.

Also, I'm planning on installing a Fidanza flywheel at the same time.


Has anyone had luck using kevlar or should I use the organic?

Any other suggestions are also welcome.
Thanks

What I've always heard on this board is do not get a Clutchmaster. I'd rethink your choice of brand. Not a whole lot of people on here have them anymore (because I think most who did got rid of them). Maybe consider one of the more proven brands, ones that have both more customers on here (more info available) and better reputations (Clutchnet, ACT, Exedy, Spec, etc)
