Default standard clutch

Pulled my engine out my 2wd saph a few months ago for a basic freshen up, gaskets etc. I fitted a standard clutch from ford as iam only realy going for stage 3 power. Had it all set up at torques recently and made just shy of 333 bhp and 331 lbs/ft, only thing is on the motor way now in 4 th and 5th the clutch slipps like a barstard

what are standard clutchs good for ?

You dont need a paddle clutch for stage 3. An AP organic clutch with ap cover is fine. Its what i used on mine for at 330 and 370ish bhp. Only started slipping after the latest power increase
