Unhappy slipping clutch

ok, i got the Cobb Accessport Stage 1 about 2 weeks ago. I noticed a few days after that it felt like the engine was revving, but the car wasnt pulling. Tonight i could floor the gas, the tach would spin up 1000-2000 rpm, but i wasnt accelerating very much. the rpms would go up quickly as boost builds. worse in 3rd and 4th gears. 40K miles. got some track miles on this car, probably should have heel-toed more often.
sounds like a clutch to me. cant handle the extra power?
i havent heard of anyone with stage 1 or 2 needing to upgrade a clutch for the additional power - so is mine just used-up?
i also read on scoobymods that a slipping clutch is worse in the rain or when cold. tonight its raining.
