Default RE: MGT Engine Question

Another thought may be the slipper is set too loose, but that should only make noise when the truck is moving. Same with the clutch, unless there is a broken spring, bad bearing, or it isn't shimmed correctly causing it to rub on the flywheel. I still use the stock clutch shoes, but I'm considering getting the aluminum Nova shoes. I know my stock shoes slip because the clutch bell is discolored slightly. I haven't heard any noises, but then again my rpm doesn't flare up more than the truck is going.

ORIGINAL: think20

I think the clutch may be the problem after messing around during a 5min engine run. Since all my engine tuning settings were fine before this problem arised i don't think they have anything to do with it although i did adjust them to double check. The engine seems to be spinning much faster before engaging the clutch. I am not positive that this it the problem but if it is are there any aftermarket clutch that may perform better or should I stick to the stock one?
