Help me decide on my paint job!!!

Clutch shouldn't be slipping after a new install. Check:

Everything tightened up?
Any grease or oil get on the clutch during install?
Did you resurface the flywheel?
Is anything binding during the pedal depression?
Is your engine rear seal leaking onto it?
Are the clutch bolts the correct length?

How many miles you got on her? If you got a liquid on there during install it will typically burn off after a bit.

1. yup
2. I don't think so. I put the clutch on while the engine was on the cherry picker. everything was new or cleaned off very well(had plenty of time for that!)
3.yes
4.not that I can tell, feels fine
5.god i hope not!
6.the bolts were the same size as the old ones.:shrug:
7.maybe 150 miles.

Thats not sounding good man... You should be able to just drive it normally and just dont go wot or hammer on it while shifting... Just make sure you never peg the thing i usually stay half throttle for the first 500 miles... Ive never had a clutch slip during break in... Some times first thing in the morning it would feel odd (really grabby some clutch smell)... but once it was broken it that was gone...

What issues are you experiencing?

well, when I get into it, like getting on the freeway, the clutch slips when I get up to 3500-4000 rpm. It grabs really good off the line though, I can feel a big difference when I am pulling away from a stop. It wants to grab alot harder than my stock clutch did. I figured it would want to slip from a stop more than it would when the clutch is already out and fully engaged.:shrug:
 
Got my front springs in today.
