Dont know if its in my head or if my clutch is going. It feels like i've lost the low end grunt. It feels like the engine isnt spinning as fast as it should be at any given rpm in the low range. It also doesnt have that jerky drivetrain sensation when i downshift coming to a stop light too early and it is slowing from 5K rpm (1st or 2nd gear). If i am in 1st or 2nd gear and have the rpms at 4k and i punch it, normally it lights up the tires and snaps ur head into the seat. Now it seems like the rpms rise slowly and there is no sharp kick in of the torque.
 
What kind of clutch is in the car?

It sounds like it is, especially if the car feels not as strong in the low end torque wise.

If it isn't a sprung clutch I would probably say it is slipping, just based upon your mods.
 
I would say that the clutch is beginning to slip, I have heard of stockers running for 50k supercharged miles and ones that blow up on the dyno. I would say it is about time to upgrade the clutch, quadrant and FWA if you havent done so.
