could it be the clutch slipping?

ok...i'm finishing the quarter mile and i'm shifting to 4th about 15-20 yards before the finish line and my trap speed is now 89.XXmph!!...i did some research and i found that in 3rd gear, i should be going at least 97mph.

do you guys think that it's time for a new clutch? i use to trap at around 96-97mph hitting a 13.8 and now i'm trapping 89 doing 14.5!!

pls give me your opinions

makes sense to me. try going down the highway and gun it in 5th, if the rpms rev up but you dont seem to move its a good bet your clutch is toast.

which kind of clutch would you guys recommend? and do you guys think that i should just get a lightened flywheel while I'm at it?

i didnt think a fried clutch would mean that your at that much of a lower speed at the same rpms, but i have no idea what else it could be. has anyone had any quality problems with their upgraded clutches?
