Default maybe just a pressure plate?

My local clutch guy sold me this clutch setup about 4 months ago. it has a paddle type disc that is metallic.....springs in the hub. The pressure plate....don't know the rating but is made by Valeo. it is not a stock replacement cause I had to drill out three bolt holes just like you would for a RAm pp. It doesnt feel any stiffer than stock with my mod'd m/c and drill mod. This setup will not hold up to ET streets or even Nittos if they are hot. Should I get a whole ram setup or just a pressure plate? As the combo gets hot at the track my engagement point moves higher and higher off the floor. I dont know what thats a sign of. I went out tonight with it cold and at about 40...pushed in clutch floored the gas and dumped clutch at about 4500 rpms. It would slip in 2nd gear and sometimes 3rd but not 4th. I think my disc should be adequate since its metallic and maybe just get a better pp and the new slave. Thoughts ???
