Default drivetrain?

i jsut installed a zoom 6 puck clutch with a built trans and a 13 lb flywheel, bbk lovering springs and upper and lower control arms now in 5th gear at like 60mph the car has a hard time going, it seems to buck and has a viberation once i get the rpms up, could it be the driveshaft and the lowering springs?

the other thing that might help diagnos this is that when i start the car in first and go to pull away without giving it gas the car has a pretty bad viberation, i think it is coming from the clutch to flywheel, but this might be normal im not sure since the clutch is a 6 puck.

if anyone has an answer or ideas im apperciate it. thanks Steve

well i've always been told and told people to keep the RPMs up a bit after a fresh clutch install, you dont really want to be in 5th gear at 1800 rpms during a breakin period.

im pretty sure that a stage 3 clutch doesnt even need a break in period, but what would the break in period be? 500 miles or something?
