Your clutch if overheating the clutch fluid. The clutch must be slipping at high RPM which is where it is most likely to slip. My stock clutch used to do the same thing when I was running it with my old old H/C setup 5 years ago.

My CARTEK clutch never slipped

assasinls1, try wrapping your clutch line with heater hose and/or heat reflective material, then flush the system with new fluid and bleed accordingly. Tie the clutch hydraulic line back as far away from the source of heat (headers). That should help. If not, then as WS6TransAm01 mentioned, your clutch is somehow heating up your fluid.

Try using some of the synthetic DOT 5 stuff while emptying and bleeding the system.
