Is this normal?

I have my traction control off, revving the car to about 4k rpm and dump my clutch, it feels like the gas petal is being step on by itself and the car feels like it doesn't want to go. feels like like its being redline but it is only around 3k-4k. Even when I'm changing from 1st to 2nd. Just very loud revving.

Is you clutch catching? cause if not then its frying your clutch. Try feathering it until it catches then drop it and pop it.

"Is this normal?"

I think a better question is why the hell are you dumping your clutch from 4k revs?
On a stock clutch you shouldn't be "dumping" the clutch, and definitely not from 4k.

clutch or VDC.

You need to adjust your driving unless you want some expensive repairs down the road.

From my exsperiance our transmissions our like glass...Ive herd from several shop owners that our cars can handle alot of power but under real pressure will break in a heartbeat......If your car is more along the line of a track/race car to you I would suggest not just a new clutch/flywheel but a whole new tranny/ or a built transmission. The transmission is prolly the one and only thing I hate about our cars in the fact that they break under any kind of pressure....from my exsperiance

try to do a ecu reset and see how that goes. if it grabs on down shift then your clutch should be fine

I might be wrong but I doubt your old honda had 270 lb-ft of torque...
And you don't have to dump the clutch from 4k to get a fast start. With a rear wheel drive car and VDC off you'll most likely just spin the tires anyway, its going to be faster to feather till it grabs then dump it.
