Really not to sure on what this would be under, but I have it narrows down to 3 things. First of all whenever I leave from a stop anything above 900rpms and the clutch grinds like crazy. It does not do this in shifting any other gears at any RPM's including WOT. I am unsure if it is the slave cylinder, master cylinder, or the clutch itself. The car is 100% stock besides exhaust. Any info on this would be greatly appreciated.

Not quite enough info for a good diagnosis.
I always recommend a good bleeding, with new fluid ran through. Check the level, if its dark in color or no longer clear, do a good bleed. Be it mityvac or traditional, doesn't matter.
Then come back with more info.![Happy](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_stretch.gif)
Are you low on clutch fluid? Hows the color?
The pedal doesn't stick, so it doesn't sound like a hydraulic issue... kinda rules out bad master or slave, as long as you are not losing fluid. Im guessing fluid is dirty, or something in the trans. Are you using a short shifter?

So after I posted this either my master cylinder or slave cylinder went out last night, the color is dark brown/black. the pedal is just lifeless on the floor with no pressure. There was fluid leaking out of the bell housing.

I know you probably don't want to here this but I think it is your slave. Mine went out of my GTO at 40k miles. I figured since I had to replace the slave there was no better time to put in a Monster Stage 2. One thing that I have learned from this is keep your clutch fluid clean.
