Clutch cover help

Hoping someone can help explain clutch covers.
On another project I have a 4 paddle Helix clutch. It came with a Helix clutch cover, which looks very similar to a stock/oem clutch cover, but has their sticker on it.
At full boost - the clutch slips a little.
There isn't a direct upgraded clutch other than to go for a 6 paddle, which would just increase drive-ability, rather than anything else.

Google seems to suggest that upgrading the clutch cover to a heavy duty item, will increase the torque and horsepower that my current clutch plate (4 paddle) can handle. If this is true, that would be just what I need.
But I don't understand how and/or if that is true?!

mostly true...
spring pushes harder against flywheel
downside is heavier clutch pedal

in dutch we cal it a 'pressure group', no idea what it is en english.

untrue bit, the friction material has e certain mu (friction coefficient) that determines torque handling capabilities aswell. So nut sure if increasing the spring pressure would increase said capability of just murder the clutch quicker.
