Default Mcloed clutch question

I have Mcloed Kevlar/Organic clutch with steel flywheel and adjustable master slave. Its been working great when I had 390rwhp for along time (Almost 2 years and 4-6K miles), but when I installed the blower the Mcloed just couldn’t handle sticky tires, 3900lbs and 550rwhp launches. The strange thing is the Mcloed is working fine on the streets now when I get wheel spin. It is not slipping when I load the clutch in 6th gear full throttle. I guess it’s just not made to withstand such power and weight on sticky tires. So I just bought the Textrila OZ700 and I was wondering if the Mcloed can be sent to get maintained so I can sell it.

So my question is.... Will Mcloed perform maintenance or check up on a clutch that has been used for almost 2 years and 4-6K miles? And how much would they charge to do a check up on the clutch kit before I sell it?
Im sure the flywheel, pressure plate and master are in great shape, but I think they might need to check on the clutch disc it self to make sure there are enough material on it.

Anyone know the answer?

Yes, just call them. You'll basically get equivelant to a brand new clutch back for a fraction of the price.

I called them today and they were helpful. They said 550rwhp in a 3900lbs with sticky tires is pushing the single disc Mcloed and that is why it started slipping. He said as long as i get wheel spin then i should be fine. Anyways their rebuild prices are not bad at all.
The prices are as follow:
$80 for a new disc.
$180 for a new pressure plate if needed.
and $25 for resurfacing the flywheel.
The sweet thing is that they give full warranty on the clutch kit.
