should my clutch be slipping

(FYI: this is the same post on maximaracing.org in the maxima mechanics section)

well i had a post sometime ago about my rpms lagging at every shift near redline, thinking it was b/c of my UDP. but i had my friend drive my car the other day, and he said its my clutch slipping. well i bought a brand new Spec Stage 1 clutch when i did my 5 sp swap and got a used stock flywheel that i got resurfaced. i did the swap about 6-7 months ago so the clutch is practically new. the clutch still grabs, and it feels like there is still alot of clutch left. so i'm thinking that the clutch can't hold all the power i'm putting out, so it slips....am i right on that??? but i thought about all the performance mods i have, and there isn't many. i've got a INJEN CAI, WS y-pipe, Apex Catback, UR UDP, and thats it unless you wanna take the NGK spark plugs, lightweight wheels, and short shifter into account (lol). is that enough to over power the clutch??? I DONT THINK SO!!! on the Spec Clutch site it claims that the torque capacity is 360!!! so what wrong? should i go back into the tranny and take a look at the clutch and flywheel?

thanks for any help!

all i can say is that the stage 1 clutch is plenty to hold that power you are pushing with the mods you have. best thing is take it to a tranny place, and have them look at it.
