Really bad stiff clutch

This problem has been going on for the longest time. 1st off Ive already put an aftermarket Spec Stage 3 clutch & fidanza lightweight flywheel so I dont no what else the poroblem could be. The problem is when I go 2 shift at real high rpms or WOT it seems like the clutch stiffens up to where when I gotta shift it into the next gear I got to practically stand on the clutch to get it to engage again. Ive driven other stick shift cars before and they dont do this. Does anyone no what this is caused by or what I need 2 replce 2 fix it. Any help would be gr8.

A higher stage clutch should have a higher effort...but not that much...

I had that with my stock clutch...I would go wot in 1st gear...sometimes 2nd and when I go to press the clutch in, it feels like it just won't go in. I don't know what it is...I just got my spec stage 2 and fidanza flywheel installed today and i'm already having problems with it
