Default Street and strip clutches

Gents, I'm looking for peoples experience with their clutch system on turbo b series motors for street use and occasional strip/race duties. I'm currently running into an issue with my fx500 having a hard time putting it into 1st while the car is at a stop and running.

I'm preparing for worst case scenario having to purchase a new clutch kit. Those who daily or street drive their boosted set ups can u chime in?

Here is my set up so you have an idea what I'm dealing with:

Golden Eagle Sleeves
Acl bearings

HEAD
Fererra guides and seals
Manley nitride coated flat valves
Skunk pro series valvetrain
Toda spec a cams
Skunk 2 cam gears
Sk2 pro series manifold
ARP Head studs
