Default textraila twin is slipping

hey guys finally got my car tune 935 rwhp with just about the same tq (turbo). problem im have is my textraila clutch is slipping. this is the twin disk for 1200hp. clutch does not have many milesw on it maybe 2000 at the most. will these clutches just not hold the tq or is there something else i need to do to make it work. it only slips in 4th gear

Another question is can u have the clutch disk rebuilt, have had this done before. on other clutches

thanks guys any input would be apprciated, dont want to go auto yet

Default Mine wouldn't hold 700 hp 750 lb-ft

About same mileage as yours. Had to replace it, it just wouldn't hold the power. GRRRRR

Now SPEC twin no issues with clutch (but pushing coolant at 13 psi, but that is another problem)
