I have noticed that when I am in 5th or 6th gear, and at higher rpm's or give the car a good amount of throttle the RPM's rise, but the car doesn't feel like it is getting much power. It's almost like my engine is reving. The car only has 26k on it and I don't beat on the car often.
Clutch Problem?

could have a cracked pressure plate do to a few hard launches or defective.

does the rpms spike and your speed does not change or are just saying it is slugish?

sounds like it's slipping
So if the clutch is slipping I am going to have to get a new one obviously. So the question is which one. I am going to be getting the car tuned soon and want a clutch that can hold 350-400whp down the road. I have been looking at the ACT street kit upgraded clutch and flywheel, but I don't know if that will be enough later on. I am planning to have this be a daily driver so I would prefer something I can actually drive comfortably, but it is not necessary. Any input would be appreciated, mostly because I was going to be getting the car tuned this week and will now have to postpone it more than likely.

I have no opinion on the PP or disc, but the fidanza flywheel is a no brainer from my experience in other cars
I'm not sure a lighter flywheel is a good idea in a car that builds huge torque down low and makes its power in the low to mid range. Light flywheels typically work best in high rpm zinger engine applications where the car is doggy until you get up into the very top of the power band. Think Honda.
