I figure I'm only making around 150 hp, but when I shift at 7000 rpm the clutch slips just enough to be noticable on re-engagement. I replaced the seal in the input shaft on the transmission and the seal and gasket on the output shaft on the motor when I rebuilt it all. You say that you're using the sport pressure plate Matt, but I'm using the stock one which probably is the difference here.
