Car dies while launching in 1st gear

Sorry for the poor description in the title but I only have so much space to describe the issue.

I have my car back together new build/6 puck clutch/lightened flywheel/microtech.

So last week I drove it and it was fine no problems. Today I went to go drive it after a few adjustments and the bestway I can describe it is....I have the RPMs up at 1800 rpm to take off from a light and I start letting off the clutch so the car starts moving. towards the end of the clutch travel the RPMs take a severe dive down and likely dies unless I floor it.

The only two things I adjusted were the TPS settings in microtech but I have set everything back to where it was before. The other thing I did was screw in the throttle stop screw as fare as it would go (on the back of the TB has a screw with a lock nut on it. I adjusted this in to raise my idle. I don't see how this would be causing this symptom.


Any ideas?

if you have a Microtech it could be anything man. You're better off posting in that forum.
