Big HP Clutch's

I have just recently installed a 5 puck sintered brass sprung button clutch with seriously uprated pressureplate and modified pivot point etc etc....
the workshop that built it (not ordered it in , but made inhouse) assured me it would be up to the job (210 rwkw + 1600kg car, treated harshly). I had made it clear as well that i expected the clutch to be good for another 100rwkw as well since i plan to do a big single upgrade soon.
But i must say i am dispointed. Under what circumstances should a supposedly serious hp clutch hang on.
recently it has slipped on a number of occasions, i was wondering if i am just expecting too much, has anyone else got experience with such a set up and what i should expect.
Tonight for instance it slipped twice, entering an on ramp to the m4 tonight i lined up for a nice 2nd gear drift in the hairpin loop as it enters the roadway, a little scando flick, fan the clutch, tail steps wide and wind in the lock, round the 180 and 2 fishtails later almost on the limmiter in second grab third and ..... the clutch spins 
... and keeps spinning till i back off.
next time, pissed off about previous slip, decide to test it again.
rolling start.... easy 1st, rolling in 2nd, stab clutch with some throttle ( this usually just results in a 100m 80kph burnout) and it slips for about 2 seconds before it grabs and starts the rest of its 100m burnout.
It seems to grab hard when it does decide to...
but is easily over powered when flat changing the 1j like a fast downchange to 3rd on the freeway.
Sorry about the long thread but, i'm not sure if i should deliver this thing back and demand a better product.
