Default HELP!!! new clutch problems..

so i had a spec 1 clutch installed with an slp lightweight flywheel in my 97 lt1 ta. tonight i had the car out for the 1st time and i did a burn out and the clutch slipped so damn bad and it wouldnt let me put it into any gear. after sitting for 10 minutes it finally let me put it in gear. i drove it back down to the dealership i work at and put it in the garage and walked away from it for tonight. it seemed fine when i took it back but i am not sure what to do. is the car ok to drive after this incident or is it goin to give me more problems? why would it slip so damn bad and that thing stunk like burnt *** afterwards. thanks in advance.

How many miles did you brake it in. You are suposed to drive 500 miles befor you start beating up your new clutch, and remember its is suposed to be 500 city miles. (stop and go). The car should be okay to drive just keep an eye on it.

Break-in? What's that? Just swap it for a auto before you cost yourself a bunch of money.
