Default Not again

I am really stressed now. I was at the track last night getting some runs in to see how my car runs with my new SLP headers and it happened again. I launched the car at about 3500rpm at half throttle and my car went almost nowhere. I smell this awful burnt metal or rubber smell again. This happened almost 6 months ago and the shop I use replaced the slave master cylinder and things were fine. What can I do to solve this problem and what could possibly be going on with my drivetrain? What kind of upgrades do I need? The clutch pedal stays stuck at the floor, but only if I try to launch my car.

Clutch time...
I can't recommend any clutch as I have tried them all and only the Twin Disk would hold. Now I'm an auto <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />

I'm sure some LS1 guys can help you out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Out of here <img border="0" alt="[Camaro]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

If your not constantly dropping the clutch at high RPMs they tend to last alot longer. That might be part of your problem. Just a guess.

Mcleod is your answer. Know though, that as soon as you upgrade the clutch your rear is going to <img border="0" alt="[kaboom]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bomb.gif" /> if it is still stock.

I run the Mcleod, but now my rear is starting to crap out.
