Default drive train issues, any pointers?

2001 z06
ram air intake/ ARHheaders with stinger exhaust and a tune
367rwhp/372rwtq on motor and 440/460 on 100shot.
new mcleod rxt twin disc clutch
aluminum flywheel
tick preformance master
new gm slave
freshly rebuilt tranny
nitto nt05 DRs

had the tranny done at the beginning of summer and all the clutch stuff was done at the same time.

that pretty much sums up the car now for the issue
was going for a 4th pass that day at the track, so i start to burn on the pad but the car goes forward, so i stop and back up to do a proper burnout.
nothing happens.
i make sure i properly engaged my gear slowly engage the clutch .... nothing, try reverse, nothing
no noise wat so ever, look under the car, nothing has exploded or is leaking.
the speedo does rise when its in gear the engine is runing but the car aint going anywhere.
im leaning towards my clutch hub having broke off, but im not sure.
hate the fact that w/e ever it is i have to pull the drivetrain off again when it was done like 5-6 months ago.

so lmk wat you think my issues is, i didnt have any time to look at it yet. i got it towed all the way to my storage garage for winter so il have to go drive down there and start wrenching when i have the time.

Differential output shaft. If the speedo goes, and the car does not, this is pretty much the only option. The speed is read from a reluctor on the ring gear, so if the ring gear is spinning, it's something downstream from that.

This is a good read:

100% DITDOT CORRECT!!

Now's a GREAT time to do some differential up-grading. Hell, If you don't want to do the up-grade, just read the below post so you know what your up against!

I did this to my 02 ZO6.. EXCELLENT MOD!
