The clutch could be slipping?
put it in 5/6 at 30 & stand on it see if it holds.

ok i did that and it held. the rpms just went up like it should! anyother ideas???
they say the clutch should be really a tough clutch to drive on the street but it does not seem any different than my stock clutch. it is very tame!

? If your at a low speed & in a high gear, if you go full throttle the motor should bog.
If it revs up freely or more easily than it should, the clutch is slipping.
Which one would you say the car is doing?
