Whats wrong with my engine? Under acceleration at 1/4 or 1/2 open throttle, the engine in my 2000 WS-6 seems to flatten out as soon as it hits 2500 rpm and continues to feel like I'm pulling a bus unless I increase the throttle. I have an m6 tranny and it doesn't seem to matter what gear I'm in although when driving it sanely I'm usually in 2nd or 3rd at the time it happens. It almost feels like the engine is retarding. Could something be activating the knock sensor? (Again under WOT there is no problem) Does anyone else have this happen? The engine has 59k miles on it and runs excellent so I don't know if this is normal or not but I don't remember noticing this issue when I bought the car 2 years ago.
The only mods are an SLP lid, Borla cat back, TB bypass, Diablo Predator tune. (Engine lag is noticible with stock tune or performance tune).
Please advise if you have any ideas.
Thanks.

nothing they work for stuff like gear changes and what not but they cant beat a good dyno tune for performance considering most tuners use ls1 edit and hp tuners which allow you to make changes for gears and removed emmision equipment aswell basicly you will get more out of a tune than with a hand held
