I have an Na-t 7M with a W58 going to a 4.30 rear end. Just recently after turning my boost up about 4psi I got some pretty bad slippage. I tried adjusting my pedal but got no improvement. This is a fairly new clutch so I need something that can hold atleast 400 ft/ib. I want to piece together something pretty low price until I finalize my decision on what trans and diff I will rebuild. From what I have read a stock pressure plate with an upgraded disk should get me there. If you could share advice or experience with this type of setup please share your input. Thanks

Disk is the wear point, pressure plate is the clamping ellement.
Stock W58/NA pressure plate was never intended to hold what your trying to put through it.
Just changing the disk will give you little, if any improvement.
You need more clamping force.
I would go for a pressure plate, if you haven't screwed the disk already by slipping it.
If it's toast, then you need both, and have the flywheel surfaced.
