Default wierd problem with clutch i think, need help

hey, this past week, my car has been acting wierd. when i get out the clutch, it feels almost like the brakes are on a little. and at low rpm's, in a high gear, iti feels like it bucks a lot more than it ever has before. could this be the clutch going? the car does have 120k on it, not sure if its the stock clutch or not.
thanks

When you accelerate do the RPM's increase without there being an increase in forward momentum? Do you notice the RPM jumpping under acceleration? If so, then the clutch is slipping and thusly it may be time for a new clutch. Let me know what your torque ouput is and what type use the car sees and I will be happy to provide more info on our available options. Thanks!

no, it doesnt really jump around much, but i wanna do a good 3 or 4th gear pull and see if it slips at all. i was thinking about a spec 2. prob gonna put around 500 whp/tq on the bottle

Is the car your daily? Are you running it at the drag-strip too? What tire are you using? A 2 is a good option especially for street driving. I am a big fan of the Stage 2+ and this is what I have in my daily. It is quite smooth relative to engagement and handles torque in abundance too! Let me know a bit more about your planned usage and I will be happy to provide more info! Thanks,

yeah, right now it is a dd. i would probably go to the track a couple times, but with only dr's cause i still have a 10 bolt. id probably go between a 2 and a 3 cause im trying to save some money. btw whats a stage 2 rated at for torque?
