Car Trouble: Slipping Clutch??? Not Sure Help!

I was driving for 2 hours to NY, car was fine

Got HKS Racing intake installed and small Oddyssy battery installed as well.

Turned the car on and try to drive it, once it reaches like 3000 rpms and the blowoff valve comes in action, the car does not really accelerate at all.

I had a hard time getting to 70 mph. My friend's say it is a SLIPPING CLUTCH and that I need to get a new one. MY CAR IS SORT OF NEW 15,000 miles, but it is my first stick shift car.

I'm ready to buy a new clutch ACT Street disc tomorrow, But before I do i just want to make sure that it is my clutch and I heard my dealership warranty does not cover the clutch. PLEASE HELP AND ASSIST BEFORE I ORDER MY NEW CLUTCH!!! thanks

well when you try to accelerate, do the rpm's just fly up? if so, then yes, you have a slipping clutch, and it doesn't matter that it has 15k miles, i've seen cars with 10k miles that have horrible slippage...and it doesnt help that it's your first stick car either lol
