Is clutch going

I replaced my clutch last Nov. with a Stage 1 aftermarket and lightend Flywheel. In the last few weeks it seems to be slipping .. It engages and disengages fine but if I try to take off fast it slips until it finally catches up.. It will do the same thing if I'm in a gear and really punch it, it slips with the revs going up until it seems to engage. Is it the clutch or can there be an adjustment that can be done...if it's the clutch should I go straight to the stage 3...

Sounds like it's going on you. Are you running an organic disc then? What flywheel and pressure plate are you running?

I'm running a Spec 1 with a fidnaza flywheel. All the usual mods including a head and Jan tune.. It only has around 10k since installed.

you may have glazed it...
try just driving normaly (no heavy loads ...like spinning tires or hi RPM shifts) and see if it gets better.
10 k aint long ....
