Default Clutch issues

I've got the TKO 600 in my 68 Camaro, 468 with a F1R Procharger. I think I finally have to motor pretty well setup tuning wise, and I have been able to drive it more and get some decent miles on it. The issue I am having now is that is seems to fry the clutch if I roll into the throttle in 3rd or 4th. In 1st or 2nd I get tire smoke but if I go from a stop tire spin, but if I am taking off from a light and just cruising around then lay into the trottle in 3rd from around 2800-3000 rpm I get burnt clutch smell. If I stay in the throttle it will slowly start to rev up to about 4000-4500 and sit there, that's usually when I get off the gas and notice the smell. I know it's not tire smell .... I tried to old trick of WOT and push in the clutch anad then let off the clutch to see if the RPM's come back down and they do a little, for example WOT push clutch in RPM's go to around 4500-5000ish, let off clutch RPM's drop slowly to 4000 and sit there... Car does not fishtail or leave tire marks so I am pretty sure its clutch. I am starting to think I need a stronger clutch. I am running the Mcleod one that comes in the CC5S kit....

I am hoping its out of adjustment, but I am not the best at adjusting this either...

Anythoughts?
