Tilton Clutch causing wheel hop?

I've had my Tilton installed for a few thousand miles now and lately it has been causing some wheel hop when trying to engage into first gear, anyone else heard of this happening? I haven't really been able to get on the car in awhile since I am in a desperate need of tune, so maybe its because I really haven't driven hard it in a long time? Any ideas? Thanks..

The engagement on this thing is pretty crazy, it's the twin cerametallic version.

I'll see if maybe if I can get a video of it tomorrow..

I have a Tilton twin hybrid. I got it and adjusted the clutch pedal. It is 70% better, but not perfect. Might be something to getting used to a hydraulic release bearing?

If you don't launch the car every couple of weeks, it will do that.
Humidity and particles get in between the plates and disks, and causes the ruff angagement.
It is a racing clutch. You got to use it as such every few weeks to keep it runing smooth. It tightens everything and gets read of all the dust and loose particles between the parts, and cleans the surface of the disks.
