Default Clutch noise

i bought my truck which had already been converted to a manuel. it had a single mass flywheel installed. It was slipping when i pulled my trailer. So i had a new SB clutch installed. It was making some noise when i would idle around, but nothing to bad. Now it sounds like the truck is going to come apart, especially when im at highway speed "75" and let my foot out of the peddle just a little and it growls and vibrates real bad.
I contacted the installer and he says thats normal for a single mass flywheel. Well thats what it had in it before and it wasn't that bad.
what can i do? Any input would be helpful.

single mass fly wheels make noise, alot of people complain about it.

most of the obs guys (including myself) with a single mass add an extra quart of trans fluid to take care of the noise problem
