what's wrong with my fc (HELP)

I was driving yesterday at 62mph , temperature was where it's supposed to be and so was the oil temperature gage. I shift down to 3rd gear and the RPM went up to 6700 then came back to 6500 and back up to 6700. I was Also boosting 12 pounds of boost if this is any help.

Man, at 12 psi, it could have just been a fuel "hiccup"...Does she run well during normal driving?

Hold the throttle at 6500rpm in your driveway in nuetral. Does it go up and down?

If it does, it sounds like its a TPS dead spot at that particular point.

I do agree with Kingofl337, that it could have been a slipping clutch..
