As said, list of mods would be helpful. Have you done any work to the engine prior to this happening?

OK, a little more confusion, so you never have done this but when you did try to accelerate in 6th below 200 grand it lugged, Its been a very long time since I drove a stock car so I cant tell you if this is normal. of course if you have high rear gears and you just try and accelerate in 6th it is probably going to hiccup.
