Is my clutch slipping?
I was on my way home yesterday and I was doing around 80mph. I gunned (racing some chick) in 5th gear, I really did not start going that much faster but the rpms jumped from 3k to 4k immediately. Boost was around 14 (yikes, spike!!)

RPMs quickly went up with no change in vehicle speed, yep, clutch slipping.
Time for that lightweight flywheel and hi-perf clutch

Sure sounds like clutch slip. I'd give it another test. Go up a steep hill in a high gear and then try to accelerate. If it's slipping, you should see the revs jump up but no increase in speed.
