I just dropped a 6.0 motor in it and this was my first time at the track since the motor was in the car. There was no strange noise or anything. every time i went to shift into 3rd at or past redline, it just would not go in until i let off and let the rmps drop then went in fine.
when driving it normally, i have no problems at all

We are smack dab on the same boat. Mine does exactly that. I bleed my clutch with a miti vac and it helped a lot. It does not hurt to try and bleed it again if you already have. I sucked air out for like 10 minutes. Does your pedal stick? I have not tried redlining it since I have bled it but the pedal feels so much better it springs right back now.

my clutch pedal used to stick to the floor so I replaced it with an LS7 clutch, pressure plate, and LS2 flywheel and that problem went away. But now i am stuck with this new problem.
