Default Slipping Clutch?
Instead of trying to explain the problem I have posted this video it is a 15-115 mph pull starting in first. Watch the 1st to 2nd shift and tell me if you think the clutch is slipping. That could be a good 12.8 run right there if I could hook hehe.

Sounds like its either your tires spinning or your clutch slipping. Hard to tell which one it is from the video though

Yep, and the smell lingers. After it let go, it would smell everytime I drove it until it eventually stopped smelling. Then I replaced it.

Now that I think about it I do smell clutch badly after a run like that and also I have been getting some rattling going on down there when I take off from a hill or something and have to ride the clutch a bit to get her moving. I think the clutch has had it. Guess I will need to chunk an ls7 clutch in there.
