ok guys i put the vortech back on the car after the new stock motor was put in
drove the car a little checked for leaks and such every thing looks good

about 2days later i toke the car for a nice hard run well after the end of that run the car started to feel funny

from idle to about 2000-2300 rpms the car feels very flat almost as if when i give it gas its tring to resist accelerating

and now when i step into it at around 3000 rpms is feels like the car gets loud as hell like normal but does not want to start moving until about 4000 rpms as if the clutch was slipping or i was getting slippage with my blower belt

p.s just as a side note i have been smelling a burning smell like brakes or something every since i got the car back from the shop with the car in neutral i can hear a lot of chatter from were the shifter is

That smell is probably from the fact that your brake calipers are sticking. You need to inspect your calipers.

are you sure your clutch isn't slipping?
