For what it's worth, I think it's the intermediate clutch. Lower trap speed is a dead giveaway, and it corrosponded with the new blower because it was holding fine a the lower HP (well, torque really but to keep it simple) when you goosed it a little you brought out the slip that the burned clutches were giving you.
Drop the tranny pan and see if you have a black residue in the bottom, that residue is your intermediate frictions.
Just what I think.

Are you running colder plugs? Are you running a different tune from a different tuner?
One step colder plug can cost you 1 - 1 1/2 mph on the big end.
A tune from a different tuner might show more HP on the dyno but run slower on the track. This can happen if your old tune held the same timing thoughout the RPM range and your new tune has slope timing. Slope timing drops the timing about 4 degrees at the start of 1st gear and on all gear changes. The timing slowly climbs through the rpm range until it reachs max at the top of the gear.
There are a lot of possible causes for you problem.
