I agree with everyone else, clutch.
If you are saying that you floor your accelerator without having the clutch fully engaged... well then that is a major problem... don't do that.. ever!
You should always engage the clutch as soon as possible. From the lowest RPM's possible. Unless you are launching your car quickly.. then you raise the rpm's higher before starting to engage the clutch.. but you always fully engage the clutch asap once you start... does that make sense??? Just get your foot off the clutch.... nuff said!

i meant like when i have the car in gear just cruising with the clutch completely out... and i accelerate... the rpms would still jump up and come down because it doesnt catch right away.. anyways i am going to replace my clutch... i plan on going forced induction in the summer.. so what kinda clutch do you guys think i should get??? thankss

you usually only slip your clutch if you want a fast launch and don't want to spin your tires... or bog your car from the tires having too much grip.(all wheel drive cars have this issue)..
you can also slip your clutch to go slower than the gear allows.. when you need lots of torque and not much speed.. like getting up my driveway and into my garage..
You have to think about what is going on.. your engine is producing a LOT of energy when you give it a lot of gas.. that energy has to go somewhere. If it doesn't go through your transmission to your rear axle..then your clutch is absorbing all of that energy... make sense...???

Slipping the clutch is when you get to that 'starting to engage' point that I just talked about and you hold your foot there while you press on the accelerator...
