Default clutch will slip on some passes but not always

i got a clutch master fx500 4 puck unsprung clutch. on the street it never slips, but at the track with slicks it will slip some passes and not on other passes. is this normal for a 400hp car. i took the clutch off and it looked good. i did not see any bad heat spots or warpage.
could it be the pressure plate.

Does it slip more when heated up ? Clutch master adjusted correctly ?

i had my CC stage 4 clutch adjustment set too low. once i adjusted it up, problem solved. first time out, i tried pre loading, and the clutch started slipping...slipped the whole way down the track cause i got it too hot. next run i said f it, and dumped the clutch...grabbed hard, but started to slip at the top end. hope this helps...
