Clutch Slipping?

I searched and I think my clutch is slipping can i get some opinions here please. The situation is this: I'll be cruisin on the highway in 5th or 6th at about maybe 60-70 and i go WOT the car accelerates normally at first then the rpms will jump when i get into boost usually about 500rpms so about from 3500-4000ish then it will drop back down and continue to accelerate. Need some advice thanks guys.

Yeah you need a new clutch. And stop wot on the highway untill the clutch is changed why you ask. Simple what do you want to replace your clutch or your clutch and transfer case.

Go twin plate and call it a day. Next time you need a rebuild it will cost $500 vs $1000-2000 every other time thats if you flywheel is in good shape.

Good luck
