When it is engaged/engaging it feels good, feels right it isnt until a load is put on it that it starts slipping. The VMAXs old and new are nortorious for this even with new clutches so theres a thing called the double D mod where you stacks clutch springs, unfortunately on this I cannot. But it is exactly the same, just letting loose once engine is over 4k where the 427r really starts pulling.

You should have approx 1/4" freeplay at the clutch pedal before you feel the resistance. Depending on the master cylinder bore dia. After depressing the pedal 2-4" later the clutch should be fully disengaged.
It sounds like your master is mis-rigged and the clutch is 1/2 way depressed at all times, thus the slippage in higher gears.
If yours is a dual disc clutch the 1" pedal travel and full disengage you described still points to a mis-rig.
