Default 3 questions, power loss, rumbling, ignition

Hello,
I just have a few questions about my car.

1) When I get on it the whole car just feels a little bottlenecked like it's lost some power somewhere. I have feeling that my clutch is slipping just a small bit, and I can deal with that for now, however it is a new clutch but I feel it might not be strong enough for my car. I was wondering if there were any other places that I could look at to see if any power loss would be caused. Mainly ones that I could take care of myself. Any others I can tell my mechanic about.

2) Would an aftermarket ignition system be a good idea? I have been thinking about it for some time now and if any one can reccomend a good brand I would appreciate it. Also could you also reccomend a set of spark plugs and wires, I don't care about cost.

3) Right around 5 thousand RPM I think I hear a rumble form the engine bay, could it be the engine mounts?

Thank you for taking your time to answer these, I'm sure I'll come up with more.
-Brian

you might want to try a better subject line next time. you get up to 80 character or something....hello doesn't tell everyone much about what the thread is about...

as far as your questions, only thing i can recommend are torquemaster plugs. a lot of people have installed them on the boards here and seem to like them. i haven't seen anyone replace wires yet...from what i've read stock is the best.
