Default Need help with shifting problem

I just took the car to the track today for the first time since the t-56 conversion. It has a Centerforce dual friction in it and a stock t-56 with a pro 50 shifter.

Then problem is If I rev the car over 6000 it won't go in gear! It doesn't matter how slow I shift. 4th seems to be the biggest problem. 5 out of 6 passes it missed 4th. I have the drill mod done, a brand new updated slave, and a new master cyl. It's blead perfect (thanx bushman).

anyone know anything that might help. I probablly should upgrade the 3/4 fork but other than that, is there anything else?
I was wondering if the weights on the centerforce were creating to much pressure at high rpm or somthing of that nature.

Thanks for any advise
Frank

Now you know why NOBODY uses Centerforce clutches in our cars. I think the issue can be resolved though by shimming the slave cylinder. Atleast thats what a friend of mine did to make his work. He had the exact same problem and shimming it took care of it.
