Spec stage 3+ install questions

Ok I installed a used a spec stage 3 + and light weight fly wheel.. I use a Zzp upgraded t/o bearing.. It slips a bit on mid throttle. I know I need to let it seat at least that is what I am hoping for will fix it. I torqued the pressure plate to cobalt specs is that ok? Or does it
Need more? Will the Zzp t/o bearing cause the slip? And I did when I installed it I knocked all the glazed stuff of the fly wheel and clutch and press plate. And cleaned it all really good. Thanks guys

I need to put my spec stage 3 in sometime... is it better to go with a lighter flywheel or resurface the stocker? I've heard some bad things about the lightweight flywheels on this car...

i hear the clutch bolts arent made to use more than once. they should only be torqued once after that they shouldnt be used again.

clutch bolts are reusable. flywheel bolts are not. there torque to yield. and you probably should have gotten a new surface disc for the flywheel since there only a $100

i bled it correct it goes into all gears no problems. I reused the old flywheel bolts in the gm build book did not say it needs new ones. I didn't replace the fly wheel surface i scuffed it good. tonight in 5th gear it slowly accel from 60 it slipped once then gripped and i keep going until full throttle. i have been driving according to the post on here about if your clutch is slipping. dose any one know if it requires more tq on the pressure plate then stock??
