Default Acceleration problem still not fixed

So I've changed the iac as well as the tps and it's fixed my rough idle completely. I'm still having the same acceleration problem. Basically whenever I'm in gear if I press a hair too much down on the accelerator pedal while I'm accelerating the rpms will rise as if my foot was on the clutch (when it's not) and my car will stop accelerating but if I put less pressure on the pedal to the point where it's "good" the car will continue to accelerate normally. This is only a problem because the car accelerates way too slow when I need to jump into traffic and it's also affecting my rice level at the local meets. Anyone got any ideas?

I'm assuming your car is automatic.

Sounds like your transmission cables aren't adjusted correctly.

If it's manual, it sounds like your clutch is slipping (replace clutch).

Talked with a mechanic yesterday and he said its probably the clutch as well. I drive a standard btw. I want to order one but i dont have a very good understanding of what some of the specs mean... What does "stage 1,2, and 3" mean? and should i get a "flywheel" to go with it? This is where my confusion lies.

What year and trim is your car? Stock motor? Do you know the motor code (just for reassurance)? Are you a competent manual driver? Do you do any racing?

I'll link you an appropriate clutch. The 'stage' stuff is usually worthless (in my opinion). The 'stages' are different from company to company and a full face vs. puck or sprung vs. unsprung will make a bigger different.

You'll want a standard clutch kit (pressure plate and clutch disc). The alignment tool is a plus, unless someone else is doing it. Just make sure they 'resurface' the flywheel (basically clean/scuff it up so it makes good contact).

EDIT:

Eff it, I stalked you. Did some homework and here we go:

Never heard anyone complain about Exedy and this is a factory OEM replacement.

Can't go wrong with Exedy heavy duty. Good aftermarket replacement.

Don't worry about getting a flywheel, just make sure it gets machined like Freemananananaana mentioned.
