You won’t notice a dip in accel- you will hear the revs go faster than normal in relation to your rate of accel.
Think of driving in snow- accelerate smoothly and all is well. Then put your foot in it a bit too much and the tires loose grip, spin faster than they should and the revs climb. Back out of the throttle a bit and they regain traction. Clutch slip is pretty much exactly the same.
My wife’s car is well known to have a clutch that is ‘just enough’ for a stock car. That being said- I’ve upped the boost pressure on her turbo because she doesn’t drive hard at all. No launches, no shifts during hard accel- so for her it’s fine:
if I drive it and roll into the throttle at highway speed to overtake, say about 3,000 rpm and half throttle or more- the clutch will slip, revs climb and I remember to back out of the gas, clutch grabs, and I continue at less throttle trying to remember not to do that.
