After my engine build I put a brand new southbend clutch and pressure plate in. Stage3. I however forgot to get the flywheel resurfaced, but can't imagine it would slip that bad. it's slipping really bad. I have to drive extremely light on the throttle, and I mean extremely light to get it to go. What could it be? Was installed correctly

Not torqued down? Well you're gonna need to get a new flywheel now. See if there's and oil or grease getting onto the flywheel causing it.

I torqued them all. And I only drove it maybe 15 miles at most

First mistake.. Using a brand new clutch with a flywheel that isn't either new or resurfaced is a huge no no.

Second mistake (guess on my part).. The pressure plate wasn't prepped properly, so instead of bedding the disc to the plate, the disc was essentially "lubricated" and has zero chance of ever bedding.

In other words, you need a brand new clutch disc and flywheel. If you're lucky, you MIGHT be able to salvage the disc if you work it correctly.

How can I tell if the disc and flywheel is fine? what about pressure plate?

Your disc is screwed. No two ways around it brotha. As far as the flywheel goes, don't even mess with it at this point, just get a new one with all 8 flywheel bolts. I'd have no way of determining if your pressure plate is still good or not unless I saw it in person.

Where can I get just a disc?

Who knows. Maybe I'll get really
Lucky and itl be fine. The sprockets on the cam gear snapped and my motor was spinning and I didn't. Bend any valves.
