Clutch Fade - Solution?

I have a ACT 2600 w/ street disk.

I did a back to back race with some guy, 1st race no prob. 2nd race the clutch slipped like crazy (bouncing off the rev limiter), burnt clutch just stunk up the car. I thought it was completely done. Well, after it cooled down, I did a few highway pulls and it's fine. So my issue was the disk couldn't handle the heat/it faded.

Should I just trying using an ACT sprung ceramic 6 puck?

Or should I say "eff it" and get a MAP/QM twin disk?

I want something that can handle more heat, more power, better fade resistance. I also don't want to upgrade if/when I get to the 400+ ft-lb range. (I'm only at 402awhp/335ftlbs)

Thanks for your opinions.
