Boosting Problem - Any Ideas?

This just started to happen with my car and am wondering if its just a boost leak from somewhere (havent found one yet) or something else. Car drives fine when not accelerating hard, but when I begin to accelerate and hit about 3500 rpms or at WOT, it feels as if the car has very little power and the rpms jump up without producing power. Is this just a boost leak somewhere? Any ideas would help.

Mods are all the bolt-ons, cams, head studs, and meth. The car just started to do this, hasn't done it for the past 3 months.

If it had an automatic tranny, then I´d say maybe it´s the torque convertor going belly up. Since it´s a manual box, I´d maybe start thinking... clutch.

Thats not what I wanted to hear haha. The thing that threw me off was that this doesnt occur until I hit boost, thats why I was thinking there was a boost leak somewhere. Any more input on the clutch being the cause?

A bolt-on, cammed IX on meth will only last so long on the stock clutch before you feel it slipping...
