Might be happening because you launch your car. Do you do this often?

I chipped mine in October and the GIAC claims 318hp. The clutch started slipping a month ago and I replaced it last week with a Stage 2. I don't launch at all, but I do accelerate hard in 5th and 6th on the highway. The only time I had it WFO it appeared to slip at the very top end, which I think was the start of my problems. I also had 78K on the car when I chipped it (89K now)and the previous owner (for 34K) towed a small trailer. But I gotta blame the extra torque.

PS - I have the old parts. The clutch plate and pressure plate don't look too bad. A little worn, a little glazed. But the flywheel was gouged and had something broken in it and there were metal parts sitting in the tranny housing.

Did you upgrade the clutch (not just replace) when you exceeded the OEM specifications? Parts are designed to work within certain limits. You will likely have to upgrade the clutch if you plan to do that sort of thing with it.
