Help!!

ok so i think my clutch may be slipping pretty bad but let me know what you all think. if i am cruising on the highway and have it in 4th or 5th and give it some throttle the rpms jump about 200-300 rpm's but dip back down this is only noticibale in 4th and 5th gear though. 1st-3rd i can not detect any clutch slippage. the only othere thing i can think of is maybe the MAF sensor has oil on it because i had a k+n filter on it for around 3000 miles. any help guys would be awesome any suggestions would be great to

when the maf sensor gets oil on it it'll clog and most likely send your car into limp mode.

i personally think its the driver mod... i have 24000km on my ss.sc with stg2 intake exhuast and 2.9 pulley and havent had any slippage, under normal driving try shifting around 3k rpm's and up.
