Default help with slipping clutch issue & 1/4 guesstimate

Well I had my car boosted for like a month now, its not a daily driver im basically building it for all out race.
I had to buy a g-tech because the tracks have closed in my area til spring.
The best 0-60mph I could pull was 6.3 but the clutch (its stock) is slipping very bad.
I found an area to run the ¼ mile at and to try to get a good drive out of the car, I didn’t heat up the tires or get on it before I did the run, because I knew the clutch would slip so I drove it normal, not in boost until I got to the area.
Gave her a run and I pulled a 14.6 but….my Et speed was 106mph, anyone every had a clutch slipping this bad on them, I plan to change it, I just brought a 6puck stage 3 clutch. But I wanted to know if anyone had any guesstimates of what I might have ran with this ET time and my clutch not slipping
I know I drove the car 2 days ago to tech school and my and my buddy drove back (he has a SRT, think he’s running 12-15psi) and once we both got on it (we played trailing each other on the freeway, just going thru traffic) I could pull on him even with the slipping clutch.

O for those that don’t know my cars a 90accord DSM turbo set up running uberdata at 10psi.
Thanks….

on slicks with a b18 t3/to4b 11psi i ran a 12.7 at 107 good clutch. on built z6 t3/t04e 11psi i hit 12.6 at 110 on slicks (w/ a broke *** tranny that i had to fight with to get 2nd, ie 2 borken shift forks). these are both in heavy coupes.

yeah, my cars pretty lite for what it is.
ive gutted everything from the backseat to the trunk compartment.
for the front i still have everything cept stock seats, and under the hood ive removed everything that i dont need, A/c, lines, PS, lines, and some more stuff. so i got it at a decent weight for a sedan. i just cant wait to throw the new clutch in and feel the difference. like after 4k, u can just feel the clutch slip, it has no clamping force what so ever. plus i did the clutch slippage test, and man.....lol
car stayed runing for like 5-7 seconds....lol blew my mind
