2G-specific car dies when clutch is in maybe flywheel

ok i have been working on this car since december and have most everything worked out. One of the things left is that wen i'm driving and push the clutch in to roll to a stop the car dies the rpms just fall out. the car just idles down and dies. it has a stage 3 zoom clutch and ACT lightweight flywheel.. if the car is just sitting it idles fine and when clutch is pushed in while just sitting it doesn't die. I talked to some guys at our local race track and they thought due to less rotational mass that it might be causing it to die. ANy help on this???

Are you venting the BOV to the atmosphere or is it recirculated into the intake?

Sounds like a bad throwout bearing possibly, is it making any kind of clicking noise when the clutch pedal is depressed?

It has nothing to do with your flywheel.

Is it making a squealing noise when you push it in? If its making and noise be prepared to take your tranny off my throwout bearing literally welded itself together. Its definitely not your flywheel and lack of rotating mass.
