Hey guys, my specs in my profile are all up to date. Once I got a tune I noticed this problem. Sometimes it happens at 5000 RPM sometimes even 3500. I don't think the tires are spinning but can't figure out why this is happening... Here is a video on it

I don't see a video, and can't see your profile, but sounds like your clutch is slipping.
 
haha thanks for the quick feedback.. moving the video to youtube should just be a minute...

well it won't upload to youtube but what are you guys thinking for a clutch... extreme psi has a package deal right now for the 2100 for $576 and the 2600 for $687. it will mostly be a daily driver with probably 1-2 appearances to the track a year
 
2100 might be ok, depending on how much traction you have. 2600 should definitely handle all the potential your current setup has. Your stock clutch most definitely cannot handle that turbo at all. you don't have to post a video, your clutch is slipping.

Dont forget an OEM throw out bearing. you always have to replace that every clutch job. the act 1 is pretty much junk. and make sure you get your flywheel resurfaced .610 step height +/- .02 inches.

Should be good to go for a while.

Honestly, for the same price I would go with the South bend clutch kit, full kevlar face disc from TMZ performance. I got a good deal on the 2600 pp and streetlite flywheel, so thats what I have but I am getting the SBC clutch sprung disc because it has a higher TQ capacity, and has a longer wear life if driven properly. I cant wait to see how long it lasts. Im sure it will perform great. I should have it all in the car in a week.

And extreme psi always has those deals, year round. dont be pressured.
 
Ok, depends on your power goals. But I would have to say go with the 2600, incase you want more power later on down the road (which everyone does).
