Default Truck Having A Problem

ok heres one for ya i just instaled my 370Hp injectors last weekend. the clutch is shot but still goes till the other one comes in. when i am driving in all gears you can feel the truck loose power and then get it back within a secound. you can really tell with the boost guage. it only differse by 3-4 PSI. i was wondering if it was just the clutch or something else

if yer boost is climbing and yer RPM's are climbin then yer clutch must be slippin

but if yer clutch is slippin then it just aint gonna suddenly grab hold............you gotta back off the go peddle b4 it will grab

its hard to diagnose this stuff without bein there

i think it is because i will be triving and i put the peddle to it, smoke comes rolling out and i get some power but the rpms keep going up

its like the power isnt going to the wheels so it must be the clutch

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

also it is the stock clutch with all that power so that might have played a role
