Default Clutch is slipping but how bad?

I have a spec stage 2 with about 10k miles on it and somewhere between 405-420 at the wheels. It shakes and vibrates the whole car from a stop. 6th gear at about 60 and about 1/2 throttle the clutch will start to slip. My new clutch wont be going in until next week, and I was wondering how much if any is the clutch slipping under WOT going through the gears?

Try to baby the hell out of it. The first place they start to slip when dying is in the higher gears. It can very rapidly deteriorate into an undrivable condition if you hammer it. No WOT unless you want to be walking soon.

My stage 3 is starting to go as well. Almost wouldn't engage into first this morning. Ordering the LS7 today most likely.
