If you are doing a lot of launching on the aluminum fly wheel...that could be part of your clutch demise....thats a lot of stress for the clutch to take up
and when you go stage 3 you need to have an adjustable master cylinder, and you need to do the drill mod as well...If you dont do the drill mod you will have some serious premature wear on the clutches

Definatly get an adjustable master cylinder. You can dial in you engagement point and make sure that the clutch is operating properly. You can literally make it to where the clutch is engaging/disengaging fully or even too much or you can make it to where it is barely engaging/disengaging at all. I have been in the boat where it was not engaging/disengaging fully and the adjustable master cured that with a few twists of my wrist. Your clutches may be going because they are not engaging/disengaging fully causing a shitload of stress on your clutch. Most people also do the drill mod to the master cylinder line, get the adjustable master cylinder, and get the updated 01/02 slave cylinder. I agree with the others you should not be smoking that clutch like that. Plenty of people use spec 3 with more power without issues it seems.
