4AGTE clutches what is REALLY needed!

Ok people, there have been a few clutch threads for the 4AGTE none of which have been particularly useful, other than to note that a lot of people have problems getting something to hold.
Now when you order a clutch for something like this most places will say that a simple heavy duty setup will be fine. This is crap once you get over the 140rwkw mark or so.
So to see what the minimum is that people can get away with post your details here like this:
4AGTE power @ wheels (approximate): 170rwkw+
Clutch diameter : 200mm
Friction plate : 5 puck brass button solid centre
Pressure plate : custom remanufactured item meant to have substantially more clamp load than a "heavy duty" off the shelf item, actual clamp load unknown.
Use : mainly street driving (not a daily driver though), a few trips to the drag strip, some motorkhana etc.
Comments : the first time this clutch was fitted it was slipping immediately, it was removed and sent back for increased clamping pressure, upon return it was refitted and still slipped but was a slight improvement, it was sent back again. Third time lucky, it lasted about 9000km with some slippage noticed under harsh conditions eg dragstrip in 3rd and 4th, and dyno runs. At about the 9000km mark it died. Action at the clutch pedal remained light both time the clamp load was increased. Clutch builder was told of approximate engine power and said the clutch would be built accordingly.
The current clutch
Clutch Diameter: 200mm
Friction Plate: Exedy 4 puck sprung centre
Pressure Plate: Custom remanufactured pressure plate 1750lbs clamping pressure
Use: mainly street driving, a few trips to the drag strip, some motorkhana.
Comments: Initially felt more "bitey" than the last clutch, very light at the clutch pedal, can't hold under load in 3rd and 4th when driven hard. Will be sent back for uprating of clamp load, the friction material seems quite good, just needs more clamping pressure.
Simply cut and paste the headings below into your post and fill them in. This might help people when they go to order a new clutch as they will know what the minimum is that they require.
I would love to fit a larger diameter clutch but my dellow housing didn't even fit the 200mm setup initially! So nothing larger is going to fit unfortunately.
The curse of the 4AGTE seems to be the pissy little clutch that some of us are forced to use.......
