Welcome.
is the check engine light on?
Have you pulled the codes?

Did the issue start immediately after the cai install?
Perhaps you damaged the MAF?

Down on power isn't a clutch issue. A slipping clutch is a clutch issue.

You issue pertains to the CAI install. Check to make sure all electrical was reinstalled and connected properly, especially the MAF. Also, double check your install. Make sure nothing was accidentally in the filter and is now sucked into your MAF and blocking airflow (i've seen this before)

91's have a functional check engine light. just because it is not lit does not mean there are not codes. it has been stated that only about ten percent of the possible engine codes will actually light the cel. dump the codes
