I had same trouble with a tune that had over 350 ftlbs. U are getting boost
spikes because the tension on wg spring is too high. Readjust it like i did
and the wg will control a steady boost. I lowered boost but still had clutch
slip, never in lower 3 gears because of gear multiplier factor. only in
4th or 5th at max torque point of about 3500 rpm.
GM tune does not hit as hard as aftermarket and clutch is ok now but stage
tune low end torque is better than stock but still not as strong as aftermarket and thus clutch slip.

That'll do it for sure. I just straight up replaced the spring, but clutch slip wasnt the prob. The turbo spiked and the engine speed couldnt keep up with the amount of air the turbo was trying to supply. I'll still be doin a clutch in spring. Also to keep the boost even, Hahn charge pipes. Lookin forward to the CAI from them too...

Pretty ballsey for 6 posts, chief.
What makes you think my comment was directed at you? My post was inspired by the sheer quantity of misinformation across a number of posts by a number of individuals. I was quite careful not to mention any names or quote any particularly inane or blatantly incorrect posts. People can disagree on virtually any line of discussion without having to resort to personal attacks.

Alright. Fair enough. This should probably end here before it gets ridiculous. Just for my point of view, though, 6 posts or 1000 posts, if I felt like I was bein insulted for any reason its how I would've reacted. So I'll say this once and it'll be the end of it, I apologize for overreacting. Shoulda probably not said anything but its in my blood to get defensive. So we'll end it there.

"fine tuned" doesn't trigger a bunch of DTC codes. 
GM Roadster's tuner is a young kid who scammed them and is a "legend in his own mind", posts clueless questions in the HPTuner's forum and I have had the pleasure of fixing numerous "toons" of his.
Buyer beware...
