clutch is about gone.

ok will a clutch for the l61 work with the lap? the dealer wont replace my clutch in my car and it slips like a **** when i race it it slips all the gears on the shift. the dealer said it was due to my 17 inch wheels and told me they could replace it if i paid them. **** THAT its only 9 months old. not to mention its slow as **** on take off. on a normal take off it bogs all the way down to 500 rpms then slowly climbs back up then about 4500 rpms god kicks it in the aass and it goes. the only mods i have are 17's with 245/40/zr17 tires, cai,gmpp catback, spectre filter, twm short throw, and airbox mod. is there any other mods i can do? besides a header/downpipe? the reason i havent bought those yet is im debating on LT's for the trans am or for the cobalt. i cant make up my mind. how do i get in touch with ian the tuner?

1. Rims dont make clutches slip.

2. Learn to drive. Suffer the consequences.

3. Upgrade to a better clutch.

learn to drive? its got 45k miles on it now. and its been raced a LOT imho... its time for a new clutch, but if i go buying a $700 clutch my fiance isnt driving it anymore. when she takes off its like WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH then she fully releases the clutch probably the main reason its slipping now.
