Default Weird Power Loss... Clueless???

sometimes when I punch it usually in first gear i will experience a bad hesitation and in some case I will actually lose RPM before the car picks up. One time my rpm stayed very low and didnt change until i let off the gas and applied it again.

I have exhaust, intake and sprint boost.

I have no idea please give me some suggestions.

Take out the sprint booster and see if it still happens. Sounds like its messing something up.

That sort of sounds like what happens with the traction control kicks on.

I was gonna suggest that last night when I saw this but I was like, nah...this person has to have been smart enough to disable it for comparison sake and rule that out.

My TC can't be the only one that actually flashes a light when TCS is engaging..

Puts a whole new meaning to "Light bulb went off"

the traction control sometimes start engaging causing loss of power. it wont cause the light to come on if its not slipping bad enough. just turn of traction control and should take care of it. mine does the same....
