$1000 dollars and new clutch later...still slipping in 5th

So, my GSR hit 14k miles, and when i would pull in 5th from 50-60pmh, i smelled clutch, and it slipped, as in, the revs would go up but not accelerate, then feel like traction control was kicking in, or stumbling on itself.
Got the clutch replaced, it was worn, and somebody had put an aftermarket disc in with the factory plate and left bolts out of the mounts, etc, etc, did a **** job. Put in a new clutch (Exedy STage 1HD), resurfaced flywheel. Hit the freeway, 5th gear, and it did the exact same thing.
Ran codes, and it has ACD trouble code stored, but i figured that may be a result of the clutch install since i still needed to have the ACD re-bled at the dealer.
Anybody got a guess??

I think I must need to run the Cobb LWG maps, must be overboosting. I told the dealer just check out the clutch install, bleed the ACD and I'll take it from there.
Ninja Edit: Dealer just called, when they went to pull the plugs, one of them actually broke off, leaving the threaded part in the head. Those are brand new Brisk plugs, they are going to give them back to me and throw the NGK's back in there, they said it looks like the plug just sheered off.
