When the clutch is up it makes a clicking sound and get louder as I accelerate in 1st and 2nd. When the clutch is down It gets alot quieter but still there.

Not enough description for a good answer but it sounds like a throw out bearing. Search for more info on throw out bearings. Yes the tranny must be taken out to replace and it will cost at least a few hundred to change. Go ahead and replace the clutch and pressure plate and consider changing the rear main seal also.

I had all that done 700 miles ago. I now have a centerforce stage 1 clutch with a stock lightened flywheel. Also when I drop the clutch at 4000RPMs the car stays there intill I let off. the most I can drop my clutch at is 3200RPMs

Answering your questions is always the same : ) w/ bits and pieces of information. What do you mean car stays there? Tires spinning? Or nothing? If nothing(no tire spinning), that means your clutch is slipping. If you do this too much or if you do this before the clutch is broken in, you gonna end up w/ a glazed flywheel and maybe a warped flywheel. If the clutch is intalled correctly, you should be lighting up the tires. I can do burnouts w/ my lightened flywheel and stock Nissan clutch set-up. Is yours installed correctly? Did you break it in properly?
