Default Aftermarket clutch help make car faster?

OK

will a "stage 1" clutch help a lightly moded car accelerate down a 1/4 mile any faster.

Does it actually grab that much faster than a regular clutch to make a diference

I see a point in ultra high performance clutches for ultra high performance cars... but on lightly moded ones....?

A clutch won't make your car noticably faster if you don't have tons of horsepower. It should make the car launch better, but not necessarily. If your stock clutch grabs when you launch at 4000 rpm or higher, leave it until it breaks, then it is definetly worth buying a racing clutch.
