Default Pedal but still hard to shift

Finally finished my 5.3 swap and everything is running right, but having a extremely hard time with the clutch. Everything worked fine with the original LS1 and I can't seem to figure this out. When I am driving normal and just cruising around town my transmission shifts fine. But under hard acceleration it doesn't want to come out of gear or go into gear. I have bled and bled and bled and I can not understand this one. Anyone had the same issues or can offer any advice? It is a Spec stage 3 clutch with a Spec aluminum flywheel. Both relatively new so I have almost eliminated that.

Found the culprit. Must of had a hairline crack in it seeping in air.

I have a feeling mine is on its way out too, sounds exactly what you're going through and was drained dry the other day. But I'm waiting on a clutch sale and have a tick master sitting upstairs.
