What are the clutch disc's dieing from?
Are they just worn out?
Do you have an adjustable master? maybe over adjusted a little?
Driving style can also play a huge part in disc wear. I dont know if that is a factor here.
But I do work on cars for a living & people drive how ever the hell they want the parts should hold up no matter what lol.
Not saying that is your issue no offense, diont take it the wrong way.

If you are running that much HP you are going to have traction issues at the track. I would reinvestigate the TH400 option. Automatics are going to hold up and eliminate alot of other issues, seriously. I understand you probably want the gas milage of the stick but at that HP level don't you think you are pushing what the stick can do? Besides less to do while running at the track is safer.
How many people die from flexplates failing? Don't get me wrong I like sticks for the street but still...

with power, a clutch is going to be a wear item,but it looks like you have an issue.
