Keep stock pressure plate or get an aftermarket Z1??

I have an 03 G35 coupe 6mt, it still has the stock clutch at 104k miles, its about time for a new one, going towards the performance side. Has a cold air intake, going for test pipes, a tune and about a 100 shot of gas. Wondering if i can just get a ceramic 6 puck disc from z1 or should i just get the mild performance clutch kit with a 6 puck upgrade?..I think i've read up somewhere that the stock clutch pressure plate doesn't have adequate clamping force meaning it'll slip under heavy upgrades. But will it matter if i keep the stock pressure plate and add a 6 puck??..I'm not looking to make 500hp, just enough to beat up some overrated muscle cars on the street! thanks everyone for the help.

Just get the whole kit with their flywheel. You'll be good with the mild performance their rated for 350 hp. It chatters a little at first
, but I don't hear it anymore. Faster acceleration. You'll like it, and make sure you get the clutch line too that comes with their kit.
