Ok that sheds some more light on the situation then. Well I was reaching around for the master and located a fitting that was dripping gas if I moved it very much. Found out it has a walbro 480lph fuel pump so I need to get this fixed first bc that could be a huge problem. One of the o rings has a small chunk out of it. So I'm sure the fuel pressure is out of wack
Now I need to know where I can find this fitting? Local auto parts store have this? And also taking the computer out this weekend and sending to shortuning for mail
order tune to see how that helps things.
Alittle update on my frc. Replaced the fuel like end that was leaking and it now runs 100% better. Just minor surging. That is nothing a tune can't take care of. Took it down the road and it shifts and takes off alittle better than it did before. Still pulls hard as hell through all gears.
Only thing I did notice was when I went to my parents house. I went to pull up their driveway (kinda steep) I heard a noise that reminded me of a disk spinning in the flywheel. Mind you my foot was still somewhat on the clutch going up the driveway. Go up it and parked then started to smell clutch. Sound like a slipping clutch or just just my foot causing it?
It's a mcloed rst which isn't a pn-off clutch anyways. Not for sure how it should feel bc I bought it this way.
Thanks

Is this your first car with a manual?
I'm not trying to be negative, but the reason I ask is your descriptions are hard to follow. Your foot should never be on the clutch pedal unless you are starting from a stop, shifting, or ultra low speeds where you would be going too fast with it fully engaged (and that should only be for very brief periods). An indication of a faulty clutch slipping would be changes in engine rpm with changes in throttle, not in proportion to changes in speed, with the clutch fully engaged (foot completely off the clutch pedal). That's the only test.
Also never rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving. Even if the clutch doesn't slip, you'll ruin the throw-out bearing.

Nope not my first manaul. I stated that going up and incline driveway. Meaning I can't hit the driveway running to I gotta come to close to a complete stop and hit it at an angle so I don't rip the front bumper off. With that said when I let off the clutch and head up the driveway that's when I hear the grinding type sound and only that time it does it. I don't drive the car resting my foot on the clutch ever.
