bad cluth?
last week i was heading to the track and gave my car a couple of wot pulls and it worked perfect. so i got to the track and i changed the fluid to the master cylinder even though it was super clean. i didn't even let the car cool down and i ran the first time and on top of third the car pushed the clutch pedal up and the car just revved this was at about 5800 rpms and then shifted to fourth and the car started pulling until it got to 5800 again and it revved again. then i ran about 6 more times and the car work perfect 
when i was going home i did a couple of more wot pull and it was still working great. about two days i did another wot launch and now its even doing it in 2nd. every time the rpms get to 5500 now the car pushes the clutch pedal up and gets pretty hard and it just revs. the liquid to the master is super clean and i changed it to see if it did i difference but it didn't. i already have the tick performance master and replace the slave about a yr ago.do u guys think its the clutch?

Best way to determine if it is the clutch, is to put it in 5th or 6th gear and go wot, if the rpms increase without speed the clutch is slipping and is bad.
Sounds like you have hydraulic problems, not clutch wearout.

I've put it in 4th goin15mph and gunned it and it works good till it get to about 5500 rpms then it revs all the way to redline.... I've tried the same thing in 5th and in 6th but I don't get to go all the way to 5500 rpms so it doesn't slip.... so how can I check if its a hydralic problem
