Default clutch help,

Hey guys i got a question about my clutch, every time I gun it on my mustang doing good shifts the clutch doesn't smell, but when I do something like a small burnout I start to smell the clutch, its a stage 2 clutch kit that has been installed about 800 miles ago, any suggestions or should I get a bigger clutch and a flywheel?

no,no, and on street tires, and I get heavy clutch smell when you stomp on it like around the corner and the car slides, not doing retarded burnouts forever. Family friend that's been working on cars all his life said that the clutch is going bad but i asked the guy that sold the car to another guy that resold it to me said he replaced the clutch with a stage 2 like 800 miles ago
