Default Forgiving-ish clutch for Turbo Application

I have a boosted F22B1 (bottom end built) in an Accord wagon that requires a new clutch. I had the clutchmasters FX-400 6 puck sprung, but apparently I suck ***** with something so aggressive. I found engagement very harsh which resulted in me riding her bad while I was getting used to it as she's gone dead in about 700miles.
I'm looking for a clutch that can handle 300-350wtq but will still be easily streetable.
Does anyone have any experience with the Clutch Masters FX-300, the Competition Clutch Stage 3 - Street-Strip Series 2300 or the ACT XTreme?
Thanks.

The CM Stg 4 that you have is on the nicer side of the scale compared to the ACT Xtreme. The CM Stg3 could be a factory clutch IMO.

CM stage 3 started slipping on me at about 300 ft lbs, then I switched to ACT sprung 4 puck, and I had pretty good luck with that, although it was a little harder to drive. I have a CC twin now though and will never go back.

After reading some reviews, I'm looking at the Competition Clutch Stage 4 with a 6 puck sprung.

even if your riding the clutch alot i seriously doubt you wore down a 6 puck disc in 700 miles. Th fx-400 isnt even that harsh of engagement. its about comparable to the stage 4 comp clutch. there basically both the same setup but the comp has a little softer pedal. sounds to me like oil on the clutch face. see what it looks like when you take it apart i gues but 700 miles idk bout that.

ive been running an ebay stage f1 racing clutch for 22k miles and its still holding, so a clutchmasters done in 700 miles even with a terrible driver just doesnt add up. are you running a god crankcase ventilation system?

Hmmm, my return line is leaking a bit at the oil pan (garage botched it). Maybe that is the culprit....yet another thing on my list of required corrections.
