Unhappy Is my clutch causing a burned out Thrust?

I have gone thru 2 thrust bearings in my superformance cobra
(460 /485HP crate motor) in less then 500 miles. The trans is a TKO 5 speed. I have gotten input from other threads that there is something wrong with the clutch assem. The pressure plate has grooves in it like a record. I do not ride the clutch. The pilot bearing is in good shape. I measured the input shaft length and there is sufficient clearance at the pilot. Snakebite performance shipped a 12"clutch disc #260873
which I have found to be a Mcleod. The pressure plate is # Lc0080. TO Bearing is Part # BCA FB 1625-c. As far as I have been told, there is no adjustment on this clutch. If the throw out was riding on the clutch, wouldn't the clutch just burn out? Could I have bad hydraulic parts? This seems to be an extreme amount of pressure. Has Superformance switched parts. My car is a 2001.
