help please

Okay so my 2013 evo X has 21000 miles on it. So far I've put a hard uicp and an air intake in it. I've started having problems with my acceleration lately. When I hit the gas, the rim shoots up without actually speeding up (almost as if I'm in nuetral) then it drops back down and accelerates normally. Could this be a tuning issue? Or will I have to get a new clutch already? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Cutch. I recommend and ACT heavy duty and one of the upgraded master cylinders.

Damn, I was hoping I wouldn't have to get a new clutch. I've noticed though that it could be running rich. When it jumps up, it only does it until I hit 0PSI. so as soon as i'm on boost, everything is okay. I just drove it from VA Beach to florida and that's what I noticed. Plus some people told me i blow black smoke when I hit the gas. I'm hoping to find that this is just an AFR issue. Not complaining abut upgrading my clutch... just a bit pricey. LOL.

As a Ralliart owner and future Evo Owner, I have a noob question. Why would your clutch go bad so early? Wouldn't your warranty cover it completely?

That's what I was thinking too. Another reason I don't think it's the clutch. Although I am new to driving stick. It could be worn but not this bad. I've only got 22000 miles on the car and about 9000 miles on the master cylinder.
