Default Clutch options with Tremec gearbox

This may have been asked before but I have tried the search and not found what im after..

I am after a single plate clutch set-up for the 3dr thats not going to be a nightmare to drive with but will take 450 lb/ft torque as I can no longer stand the twin plate set-up im currently running. In traffic its just horrible and I look rediculus (spelling?) especially when doing hill starts revving the nuts off the car to get it moving without stalling...

So whats my options please?
Also I understand I will need a new flywheel.

Twin plates shouldnt usually be that bad.

Exactly what clutch is in it ?

If you could change the friction discs to organic, engagement would be totally smooth

Gav, just use a Cosworth cover with the correct plate and it's sorted.

Not sure bud, just know its a super cluch twin plate... 7 1/4"
Its on its last legs now and slips at peak torque and bite is at the top of pedal travel, has only covered 2000 miles but assume slipping it so much to pull off has killed it

I did try to ring you today but just rang for a while and then had a message asking me to key in a pin number???
Whats the correct plate though please? This is what im asking?
Also will I have to change anything with the centre push actuation?

Just find a plate the right diameter and thickness and tell the clutch place to stick a GM 26 spline hub in the middle.

It's 1 1/8" diameter and 26 spline and generic across a lot of US GM cars and Tremec boxes.
