Default full throttle response possible timing retard???

Here is what it is doing, i floor it from 65 and it down ***** and goes but then it feels like it just toned down, or bogged the motor like the timing turned way back and it lost 30 HP and then it kicks in again and takes off. what the heck is it doing???

my car is a 2002 firehawk with 10,000 miles
bolt-ons are as follows, 2800 vig, AIR trick sensor from SLP, Thunder Racing ported maf, free ram air mods

the down **** is probably your problem <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> LOL!

In all seriousness it sounds like it might be torque management related (Drops your timing)

Any tranny mods at all?
Cheers,
Chris

the only tranny mod is the 2800 converter and B&M cooler.
