Message If the pedal is releasing higher as it warms up. The only thing that can do that is incorrect pedal adjustment. (NO freeplay)

What is actually happening is as the fluid heats up it expands and causes the clutch to release more. (Just like keeping your foot on the clutch pedal)

This condition will glase a street Disc very fast and it will not hold as much power once glased.

Also you are making more then 550 ft lbs at your motor ;)
The dyno just shows what gets to the wheels. The clutch is subjected to the Flywheel HP.

The good news is RPS rates there clutches very conservative and it will easily hold that power and more.
The bad news is you probably already glased your street disc.

Part of the reason your boost is coming up fast is because your clutch is slipping from improper adjustment and it has the automatic torque converter effect of bringing the car in the power band....It sounds like you were sliding the car into gear with the clutch pedal from your video, But not having free play in the pedal will do that for you.

Call me if you need help adjusting the clutch pedal, You will want to back the switches out at the top of the clutch pedal assembly to raise the pedal hieght.
