Fried Clutch? Help Please
So I been wondering why my car has been running crappy times at the track and feeling sub-standard.
Ever since I got the car if I nail the gas the rpms will climb but not the mph so I figured that was the tires spinning.
Well recently I got my nitrous working and was spraying in 3rd on the highway and it was doing the same thing.... I was like.... wow spinning at 3k in 3rd seems a little much but my tires are very low in tread so possibly...
Fast forward to today I just got my 15x8 draglites on the car with m/t 28x10.5x15 slicks on the car for the track, I go to nail it at 3.5k rpm and I'm spinning 1st... I'm like.... ????
I make 2 passes same results and on the way home I rolled into the gas in 6th with my regular tires back on the car and the rpms climb but not the mph.
So would I be correct in the assumtion my clutch is toast?
I mean 6th gear at like 4 psi boost shouldent spin the tires at 60 mph right...?
Help....
What would need replacing? Just the disc or would I need to buy a whole nother kit? Would there by anything wrong with my flywheel?
Where's the cheapest place to buy a spec 3+?

if it's still the stock clutch, it's pretty much beat to chit with those passes.
i would recommend you get the whole clutch kit and not just the disc.
you can re use your flywheel just make sure you get er resurfaced.
