1)did you resurface your flywheel when you put in the new clutch?
2)did you allow about 500 miles of heavy clutch action, low rpm's and no boost to break the clutch in?

do u still use the original presure plate?

this might happen if your presure plate is to weak.

It might also be that u got some grease/oil on the flywheel or the presure plate. take it apart and see how it is, and maybe post some pics of it.

somthing is slipping nad it's not the new clutch. then it's broken

That clutch S/B good for ~450-500ft lbs, something is wrong for sure.
