Ok... my 87TII has a pretty aggressive street port, intakes, upgraded to a series 5 manifold/turbo and shortly a RB full exhaust... would the ACT Z65-HD00 be a good option? It holds 330ft-lbs of torque, so i should definitely be under that right?

Alright for 2-3 weeks my clutch has seemed to be slipping a little not much so I was'nt sure it was the problem untill last night. Now whenever I take off at 4k rpm or more it just spins untill I ease back some when i'm driving its whenever the turbo starts to kick in. And when I got home it had a burnt smell.
Would this cause any problems to my trans I hear of syncros going bad how do I know? Sometimes when I put it in reverse it makes a small grind?
Also could I have prevented this or how can I prevent it from happening again? I dont think it was from the way I drive.
At SRMotorsports www.srx7.com/srFlyACTSpec.html theres a Clutch & Flywheel Package 9.5# aluminum flywheel, counterweight, hardware kit , bearings and ACT HD($799 ) or Xtreme($849) clutch set. Whats the difference(HD~Xtreme)? Good price?

pilot and TO bearings
trans. front and rear seals as well as engine rear main seal.
probably some other things I forgot
Guess what....over $700.00....everything assembled properly and extremely clean (no oil...not even a finger print) and at less than 1000 miles it has started slipping. I have not even raced it yet!
So.....don't use the stock clutch....i'm getting an ACT I think!
