Default Worried i messed up

Well today for the first time in my "s" i ran...Vs a mustang gt i was impress how the s2k kept up with it..Well anyways we stopped at a red light i wanted to get a good launch rev it to 5500 and i let go of the clutch pedal as quick as i can.... well anyways my car slipped the clutch so badly it revved all the way to 8,000 car slowly moved i shifted to 2nd didn't move at all to 3rd nothing and i just stopped and said what the hell? so i did a quick search it was the the stupid clutch delay valve .. I'm really worried me thinking i hurt my baby should i worry about anything? besides the clutch? this weekend I'm removing the clutch delay valve......

from 1-3 it hit 8k

It shouldn't have slipped that dramatically

I have about 23k on my clutch. After 3 sets of brake pads and 4 sets of tires, it performs the way it did on the very first day.

i have done that once maybe twice on my05!!

and the first time was in front of a crowd who was gassing me up to do a burn out!! boy did i look stupid

i would say you defenitely fried some of your clutch but you should be fine because like i said ive done it a few times and i have 32k now and the clutch is still fine But i did remove it around 8k

as soon as you remove it and take it for a ride you will see how the car reacts totaly different

Those must be the quickest gearchanges ever to beat the CDV.
Are you sure you have no clutch slip?
Try flooring it in sixth @ 30 mph and see whether it just revs out and doesn't gain speed. If it does you have slippage and off to the stealer you go.

it probably did that through all 3 gears because you never let off the throttle enough for the clutch to engage
