yea its your clutch mine is doing it too frown.gif
its cause we don't make enough power to push our wheels so the clutch keeps slipping frown.gif frown.gif frown.gif

so what i'm doing is just a normal clutch set from advanced auto
with a machined flywheel to lighten up the rotating mass...
that should be enough

No its because your clutch is worn out so its slipping nothing to do with power.

Also no offense but it is a stupid idea to machine your flywheel to lighten it up, its dangerous and your flywheel could explode causing serious engine damage and I mean serious it will look like a bomb went off in you engine bay or bodily harm or death. I know it sound like I got that from a warning label but its true. If you want a lighter flywheel which is not the best for street driving buy one that is manufactured to be light.
