Default Clutch or Flywheel? ACT Stage 1 Clutch Wear time?

I had a ACT Stage 1 clutch put in around the begining of July, and while the clutch is still grabbing well, Im getting HUGE amounts of Burning smells, and ticking.
Installed in a 94 Delsol Si (D16z6 I/H/E) daily driven/stop light/freeway racing. I dont think I pounded on it too much but who knows.

Anyway, the question is, Is it the Clutch or possibly the Flywheel? I think it is the stock flywheel, and the new upgraded clutch is probably too much for it. Any ideas?

oh BTW, If it is the Flywheel, would upgrading it to a Fidanza Lightweight Aluminum Flywheel be a good idea, or should I just resurface it?

did you break the clutch in properly? Honestly sounds more like you are just hard on the clutch.

THis is just going to be a replacment type thing. I really cant do much to the car since Im shipping out on April 20, 2004. Im going to have to sell it by then, So I really dont care abut what I replace things with. Just as long as it will still run until I do sell it
