Default RPS Light Weight double clutch question

I am new here and would appreciate any good advices.
We have LS2 404 motor (600 hp) in our C5 and are replacing the clutch.
We have used RPS double clutch in carbon, from a twin turbo Corvette, is was beginning to slip in 3rd and 4th on 12 lbs boost.
The discs seems ok and our question is, if we could use this clutch in our Corvette? The turbo Corvette has much more torque than our motor.
- Has anyone tried to take 1-2 mm of the clutch pressure plate to get better and stronger pressure?
Thanks
