Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) slipping clutch

[BLively]

i've got a question for ya'll. i just bought and installed a 13'' clutch on my 5 speed. the advertisement said that the clutch would hold up to 500hp and 1000 ft lbs of torque. i understand now that you have to break in this style of clutch (ceramic), but man i'm getting frustrated with this thing! i have about 1700 miles on it now and it still slips when i put it on 5x5. i tried racing a kid this evening and got my butt wooped cuz the clutch let loose. what do ya'll recommend on this? and sorry this is so long! thanks in advance.

well to start with what all do you have done to your truck, but from the sounds of it id say something is wrong.

i have: hx40, stage 1 intake, HO vp44, HO injectors, edge comp, Smarty, 4'' exhaust going to dual 5'' stacks. i plan on adding some 120horse injectors and a stage 2 intake. thats why i went with this clutch setup. i did dyno my truck about a week ago, and the numbers were: 342 hp and 780 ft lbs. what do you think?

i guess i should have just had some patience, cuz i think the clutch will be ok. it finally started to hold up pretty good in 4x5. before i could get it to slip no problem in this stage, but tonight, i was showing off in front of the Hooters, and it held pretty darn well! i guess i'll just give it more time. thanks for lookin guys.
