Default WOT hesitation...?

I can feel a slight hesitation at diff points through the rpm band when at WOT, but the PCM doesnt register a missfire, and the o2's aren't throwing codes either. What could cause this? Would a car needing a tune have this problem? I had my car tuned without the LT's and ORP, so thats the only thing that changed. Any ideas? (btw, i didn't hear any pinging or detonation)

Mine was doing that occasionally and I installed a new set of plugs and cleared it right up.

When you acclerate at WOT - does the car seem to bog then catch itself again? Like what I used to refer to as a "hiccup?"

No, no hicup, it starts out fine, just in the middle of the rpm band it will feel like a miss, very slight too.

change your plugs and wires or check them., get aftermarket wires if you don't have them already.

Mine was doing that too, I changed the plugs and it seems to have gone away. Still might have it a little bit but hopefully dyno tuning will get rid of that...
