Can a bad clutch affect engine tuning ?
I''m running an OS speed Xzb for more than 3 gallons and so far no problem, engine is as expected : a beast and so easy.
However recently my engine tuning is very unstable , cannot rev without flaming out, idle very high then go down suddenly, no low end rpm at all (push hard on the throttle to make the car running
)
After spending an hour trying to find a correct tuning, I gave up, and opened the clutch, found out that the clutch shoes are very worn and the flywheel nut was loose, the pinion gear is badly worn in the inside as well.
My question: can the above mentioned issue affect my engine behavior (ie tuninng)?
Thanks for the help

even though the clutch is quite worn that doesn't match the issues you are having with the motors tune, the reving high to take off will be the worn clutch shoes.
I'd check for a bad bearing and air leak, plug, tank pressure, bad fuel or even a rod going so definitly strip it down for an inspection.

However bearing was completly destroyed though.

Yes, it can.
Slipping shoes (due poor breakin/drivein), hanging shoes (due mushrooming/spring issues), earlier engagement (due weakened springs) - all that can turn nitro pleasure into PITA.
