LilMsRX8

Howdy was wondering if anyone had any tips re: flywheel/clutch replacement for my 04 rx-8. and is a street rod clutch better than OEM ? was going to get Exidy 1 but lots of neg reviews here about it so no thanks. i burn the clutch overrevving and dropping into 1st. i know dumb b--ch !!, but we all have to live n learn. love the screaming power in the lower gears and high RPM range, jeez just feels like it don';t run outta power. Any tips/hints on that replacement job gratefully appreciated
