Verdad Gallardo from what ive read the stock maf is good for 500ish hp and you should have your tuner recomend one for your application and tune it, otherwise it'll do more harm then good.
but if u really want us to help figure out the problem u have to go into more detail.

Did the car hook and bog? If the clutch was slipping it wont cause it to bog. If so then it is definately not the clutch(although the stocker will not hold up for long)
The only way around the Bog is to launce at a higher RPM. The stock clutch, much less the 10bolt, will not hold up to this.
If you are building this car for an occasional trip to the drag strip I would reccomend the Steel flywheel. It will help to store energy and not bog as bad when you launch as well.

now droping the cluch with a spec 3 with etstreets is not recomended haha
