Default Clutch

Whats a good clutch for a 2wd saph running 28 psi boost peaking at 32 psi through a t35, not long had the conversion with the MSD chip. Its now started to slip in 4th and 5th got an AP organic fitted which has been great until new turbo and more boost lol.
Any suggestion much appreciated.
