clutch is creeping while in gear
i was at a stop light the other night and decided to give my car some love and rev it up while i was in gear. i had the clutch pedel down to the floor and by the time i got to 7k rpm the car started to creep forward and faster as i got up to 8.5k rpm (on flat suface). last year i got a stage 2 act clutch installed and a few months back my slave cylinder and my master cylinder went on me so they are both brand new (installed my mazda). if you guys have any anwsers they would be much appreciated. thanks

Sounds like you're not fully disengaging the disc from the flywheel.
I had the same thing happen to me when I upgraded my clutch (though I knew to check for that while the car was still on jack stands
).
You need to adjust the clutch pedal to accommodate the new clutch kit.
Your pedal stroke should be 5.12" (I have mine at 5"... close enough)
The pedal play should be 1/4" - 1/2", but move it in as close as possible but still leaving some room before you feel resistance when the clutch pedal is pressed in.
