Default car acting funny

so im going down the road and go to get on it, i hit 6g..hit vtec then at 7ish my rpm goes up quick but my car stops pulling..its almost like my tires are just sitting there spinning...is this the clutch slipping? (this is my first manual so im not to sure what clutch slip feels like)

if it is the clutch can some people help me out with posting up nice stage 2 or just real durable clutches along with some prices?

or if some people think it could be something else...what could it be?

you might want to check the sponsor section, there are some good deals going on in there ... Aftermarket clutches are about the same price as buying an OEM one from Honda... Just make sure your clutch isn't too aggressive, or you'll be hating yourself in stop-and-go driving.

stock disc with upgraded pressure plate should be fine.
