Unhappy Clutch pics after 1300 miles

Well I finally get to pull my clutch and flywheel out today so i can send them to spec clutch for them to look at. if you don't know the story I'll do a quick run down for you. I bought and installed a new fidanza lightweight flywheel and spec stage 3 clutch about a month ago. So I do the 400-500 mile city driving break in period. I go to finally give it a good run through the gears and as soon as boost comes in the clutch slips bad, i mean like you are revving in neutral bad. So i call up spec because this clutch is supposed to hold like 365ft/lbs and i have no where near that at all. they seem to think it is my flywheel so i have to send them the complete setup so they can put it on their machine and test them together. So now i will be out of a car for atleast a week. lets hope they figure it out and get it right this time. And now on to the pics..
