Spec clutch stage 3+ = unhappy!

Ok, I was running a ACT street/strip set up awhile back. Lots of drag racing with it. It finally went out on me about 1 year ago. I upgraded to the SPEC stage 3+ which is some metalic compound. Rated at 500+ft lbs torque. I broke it in with 1000 easy miles. (1000 miles because I was also breaking ina new motor that had to be taken back out for oring failure and then another 500 miles on the next motor). Then started running it harder and harder. While on the dyno it started to slip just a tad. I really did not know 100% forsure if it was. Later while doing some more high boost street tuning it started to slip in 3rd gear bad. I pulled it out tonight and it is burnt bad. Even wear but it was very harsh on my light flywheels. Wore pretty good into the disk, 4 times more than my act did with 30-35k miles. This Spec has maybe 3k on it.
