What clutch?

I was thinking of upgrading my clutch to something that will grab alot better at high rpm with out grinding, because going to second at high rpm if grinds the sh** out of second gear, so I am thinking of getting something that wouldnt do that, any good ideas? anyone change there clutch out to something like that? Any imput would be great thanks.

not sure the grinding is anything to do with the clutch as much as it is asking the syncros to do too much
