Default idle problem clutch or not?

alright well the dumb *** of me the other day i try doing a burn out with my handbrake on well kool nice show blah blah lol. well i think i didn't do it properly because i started to smell my clutch and ALOT! well i park my car on my house i said to my self kool is normal. well next day i was driving to work and i was driving good on 1, 2 3 4 but on 5 when i was on 3700 or so i try stepping on the gas and it would just idle a little more higher and i could hear my motor trying to go but until i hit 5000 it would respond. then i got off the freeway and try smashing on second going around 2500 rpm to see whats the deal and my idle just rev and nothing until i hit higher rpms. i park my car and its smells like clutch until this day and this happen 3 days ago. what u guys think is it my clutch or a sensor?

what's done to his car, that he needs a "stage 4 competition clutch"? upgrading the clutch on a stock engine doesn't give you any benefit.

those are pretty shitty reasons to get an upgraded clutch. the only reason you should ever upgrade your clutch is if your current one can't hold the power. there is no benefit to upgrading it if it holds the power just fine. in fact, some aftermarket clutch's have a much shorter life than stock ones. he should get another oem replacement clutch and learn how to drive.
