Default Mk! Escort heavy duty clutch 2 ltr pinto

Guys I have Mk1 escort 2 ltr pinto with muld works. Works consit of 20 thou over pistons stainless over size exaust and inlet valves with double springs powered by a Wade cam. The motor is fed by twin 45 DCOE weber carbs. The power at this stage is un known but am hoping for around 150hp when I finally get it to the Dyno ( un reg at this point )

Took it for a blast around the block ( Not the first toime ) and the clutch slips when fast cornering on power. I cant remember but I'm sure its the original clutch that came with the car.

Sooooo I am in the market for a new clutch. I will only be doing street driving but want something that can handle some after hours activity. Theres solid plates 4 puk and 6 puck ones with springs and ones with out

Does the car have an lsd, , locked diff or if open centre may just be spinning the inside wheel if it only does it cornering.
