Default I think I am lacking power.

I dropped the clutch at 2k and the tires didn't even chirp. I can spin the tires from a slow roll if I stabb the gas in first but I can't chirp them at all while moving in second. Like the car wont even go sideways on me while taking a hard turn in the rain in second. Does this sound normal?

maybe a week clutch,
before my new King cobra I couldn't even chirp 2nd, now I can spin almost through the whole gear..

I did have an original clutch with 145,000 on it

Thats kind of what I am thinking because, The car won't move at all with just clutch like every other standard I have driven. I don't think it is gripping to its potential. I don't think that is my whole problem because it doesn't really slip if I am driving down the road and I punch it the revs don't jump the whole car kind of bogs.

sounds like its time to inspect the clutch and probably replace.
