is it my clutch if it is lugging / lurching?

Ok well after my very first pass on the 1/4 mile i felt something let go and i just kept my foot mashed to the floor till the end, but i could tell not all the power was going to the wheels... but on the road back it was lugging and lurching VERY badly... and i was in 4th gear just cruising... and on the way home it would have no power then all of a sudden it would feel like the clutch would grab and lurch me forward and this happens on and off all the way home on my 30min drive... as if the clutch lets go then grabs again....

its kind of like when your in 1st gear and you take off and just let of the gas still in 1st and it gives you that jerking but this is happening at speeds around 90kph in all the gears

And i thought it was my clutch but i have a bad feeling it might be more... any suggestions on this?

Also when i felt what i thought was the clutch let go, it was when i shifted into 2nd gear and still had the tires spinning when my boost spiked to 10-11psi and thats when it felt like it went..

I have a spec stage 3 clutch, aluminum fly wheel and Quaife LSD coming but i just want to know if it is for sure just my clutch
