Default Can't figure out problem with mcleod twin plate clutch!!!

I just recently got the Mcleod twin plate streed clutch put in my mustang and i broke it in for 500 miles and all that jazz but it slips??? does anyone know what the problem could be?? If i do a burnout just dropping the clutch thats all you can smell and if i am running my car everyone near my car can smell the clutch? any ideas of what could be wrong fill me in please thanks.

well it could be so many things, as you
know....and almost all of them require
pulling the transmission to fix

Could be a disc(s) installed backwards.
