Default firebird clutch issues...help....

so this is my work in progress that i have been workin on for about a year now. its a 97 formula that i have turned into a ta. recently we put on the eibach springs...slp exhaust...tomzwheels 18" c6z06s... clutch & slp lightweight flywheel. the clutch i got was a LT1 SPEC Stage 1 Clutch Kit from the ws6store.com. my problem is when you let the clutch out (or under torque) the car shutters and shakes bad but when it gets moving its fine. i called slp and they said that the clutch is a racing clutch and its supposed to do that. (i would have called ws6 store but they have f*cked up tech hours) it just doesnt seem right. anyone else out there use this clutch and have this problem? once i get this cluch problem figured out then i can finish the rest of the car. thanks in advance.

Sounds like it might just need a break in. Is that an aluminum flywheel? That might have something to do with it as well.
