here is the deal ... put fully built KA (non T) in this sutarday. everything great then today i finally gave it some gas and to my suprize brand new clutch is slipping it *** off in EVERY gear. Its a combo of Fidanza flywheel and Gripforce F1 clutch. Clutch pedal feels normal... i can feel the point where it disengages on and off. This isnt my first time doing a clutch i know what i am doing and i cant possible think of anything that can make it slip like that besides faulty pressure plate. nobody i know can tell me whats going on.

Car drives fine as long as i keep the gas to no more then ........ umm i'd say 20%.

Any ideas? i am tring to decide on next step if i should wait for it to get better(doubt its possile)or get new clutch.

if the pedal is set up right you have a bad pressure plate most likely. so send it back sayin it slips it has a warranty right.

Lets get the obvious out the way. You did tighten all the pressure plate bolts correctly right? and your sure the clutch disc is not in backwards. Laugh if you will but I do fairly well on tow ins from just such incedents where customers installed it them selves.
