Recent Clutch work
I just invested 2.6G's in a clutch, flywheel, timing belt and some other minor work but here is my situation.
I got the stage II clutch and its grabbing great but seems to really buck when i let out around 2G's.. with my old stock clutch i could launch from 1.5G's without having any problems but this one seems to buck even at 3G's. Now I've only had the new clutch for 300miles so I might need to break it in some more but I've also encountered another problem. When i release the clutch to shift my RPMs still go up another .4G .. I've let off the gas first and then shifted and the same thing happens, it shoots up another .4G after i push in the clutch. The higher i go in the RPMS when i shift the more it'll jump. I'm afraid if i shift at 5G's it'll rev up to 6G.
Any idea's?

Generally when one is seeking help... they include critical information....
Also, it is probably best you not think of anything to do with this sort of car as an investment. Your car is a liability not an asset in which you are investing.
As for your clutch problem... rephrase the question with all of the necessary info and maybe somebody will be able to help you out.

Clutch and throttle problems.. suggestions please.
I just invested $2600 in a clutch, flywheel, timing belt and some other minor work but here is my situation.
I invested with a stage II clutch and its grabbing great but seems to really buck when i let out around 2000 RPMs, with my stock clutch i could launch from 1500 RPMs smoothly but this one seems to buck even at 3000 RPMs. Now I've only had the new clutch for 300 miles so I might need to break it in some more but I've also encountered another problem.
When i release the clutch to shift my RPMs continue to rise another 400 to 600 RPMs .. I've tried letting off the gas first and then shifted (with a 2 second pause between) and the same thing happens and the higher the RPMs go up before I shift, the more it'll jump when i release the clutch. So I'm afraid if i shift at 5000 RPMs it'll continue to rise and red line.

You have to break it in and drive mildly for at least 500 miles is what I have found out...
some recommend 500 mile break in and 700-1000 mile milder driving...
As far as I can tell a stage 2 clutch is not meant to be abused for launches especially not before it's broken in. Stop abusing it until it's broken in. Hopefully nothing broke or got broken in the wrong way while you were experimenting.
And FYI... you have not invested money in your car you have SPENT it. It's gone and never gonna have a return unless you make money driving.
