I've had this problem for a long time now; super boost = clutch slip. If it is in fact clutch slip, it should be pretty obvious. Take a ride with me sometime so I can show you!
The remedies are few and far between, though they include: upgrading to the 89+ flywheel, upgrading to the 89+ clutch kit, using a 9K FW and clutch kit (Aero? not sure if it would fit), or try one of SD/SPG9s clutch kits.
As far as a performance aftermarket clutch kit for the 900, well, there isn't one. ScanWest is supposed to have one coming, but I've not seen it yet.
One thing you can do to help yourself: when you get a new clutch, break it in. It's difficult to be patient, but for the first 500 miles or so, give it a good break in with easy driving, a little city stop and go type stuff. No clutch dropping high rev shifting!
