Sliping clutch
What the fuck is "featherment"? Lol... That's a sweet new word..
The center of the clutch disc will either have the hub coupled to it with springs or without. A sprung disc will engage smoother, but the springs can sometimes affect how the clutch holds in high HP applications. An unsprung disc is generally harsher to engage.
Did you get the flywheel resurfaced when you installed the new clutch? This is obviously very important, especially if you've changed clutch disc material.
If you have a stepped flywheel, did you get the step machined properly?
I don't think there is anything wrong with the clutch, it sounds like something else is causing it to not work up to it's capacity. Well, unless the pressure plate is crap and doesn't have enough holding pressure.
