You will find that you either did something wrong when you installed it or there is something wrong with your hydraulics.
I had a 2450lb pressure plate and a stock driven plate, and that held a 1700kg+ car with almost as much power as you have... and with no hint of slipping, even when badly abused (eg. burnout at the drags).
Then later I had a 5 puck button clutch with an uprated pressure plate... and it slipped! It turned out that the master cylinder needed a reco.
If the master/slave are shagged, the pedal needs adjusting, you have crap fluid, etc, then these can all be causes. Also, even the slightest bit of oil or grease on the flywheel or clutch will cause slippage.
I assume you bled the clutch, yes? And you did wipe the flywheel surface clean with metho or similar?
Be aware that once a button clutch starts slipping, there's no turning back. They tend to tear up flywheels pretty badly also.
