Is my clutch slipping?

I wanted to hear from you guys on what are tell tale signs that my clutch is slipping.
I was driving then I got on it in second and the car did't seem to move like it should. Almost like the tires were struggling for traction.
I was on a straight road not wet and I didn't launch the car. My mods are stage 2, injen cold air, hd/dp gmpp exhaust. Also can anyone describe what a slipping clutch feels like.

Engine revs up or revs hang, car does not move. Feels like you are in neutral.

If the tires are fighting for traction on your 1-2 shift then your clutch is grabbing like it should.

one way to tell is go on the high way get up to 5th and step on it if the engine all the sudden revs up real fast then id have to say ur clutch is slipping.

not getting traction and clutch slipping are very similar if you can't hear the tires spin...but everyone said it right of how to check it

if you get on it you let 2nd out FAST. Dont let it out like a DD or it will slip. I know it feels weird when you drop 2nd's clutch because of the engagement but thats how it "sticks".

Also cold weather doesnt help with grabbing. I got on mine a couple days ago before it warmed up a couple times and the 1st time it didnt grab. Seems fine, just let out 2nd a bit quicker.

mine had gotten a little glazed a few months ago. revs resembled a tire spin, but the smell was different. this happened a few times to me before i just decided to take it easy for a while and it never happened again.
