My game is stuttering/lagging while using shadowplay. The games I play run fine without it on 60-100 FPS but lag with shadowplay. Games like squad, Arma 3, rainbow 6 and even in fortnite.

Specs:
I7 7700
GTx 1060 6gb wind force
Corsair 8gb ddr4 ram
250gb seagate ssd

Well if that's the case, it could be something else, like a program you installed recently conflicting with ShadowPlay maybe. Hard to say, so many possibilities. Are you using the 398.11 driver though?

Have you checked temps and PSU voltage stability, and scanned for malware?

Why not just use Instant Replay instead of manual record? It's not only better performance wise, you're not doing trial and error recording and wasting time and drive space recording and deleting unwanted footage.

Instant Replay limits you to 20 min segments, but there's no reason you can't pause game, save a segment, then start up again once it's saved. Granted it's a bit different with mp play, but still possible.
 
Only problem with your spec is the 8GB RAM, which wouldn't likely cause the problem you're describing. Upon further reading, some are saying the new beta Nvidia Freestyle filters may be causing this, however make sure you have the latest 398.11 driver, as the 3 prior versions had Instant Replay problems.

Are you using the Freestyle Filter feature? if so, you'd have to have the "Enable experimental features" box checked at the top of the General tab in GeForce Experience settings. Just uncheck that if you have it checked to see if it fixes it.
