A performance clutch isn't cheap (read: under $100), but it'll get you up those hills and won't cost you any top speed.

Dr Pulley clutches have been known to GAIN a couple mph top speed from gripping the clutch bell so well and having 0 slippage - and this has been my experience too.

I don't know what mods you've done (if any), but the main inexpensive ones to gain a lot of low end will almost always sacrifice some top speed - it's the nature of the system. You compensate for this by doing other mods.

For example, if you go to a lighter slider weight and stronger main spring to gain low end (sacrificing a bit of top speed), you can remove the stock airbox and install a velocity stack and UNI filter which will gain you more overall power and top speed. The net top speed gain might be canceled out by the lighter weights, but you have a lot more low end and no top speed loss. Total cost for this mod: ~$90 (UNI, jets, velocity stack, slider weights, main spring).
