Default POWER LOSS I THINK?? Help

First of all I own a 2007 Alloy Grey Premium GT.
I did a power brake small burn out in front of my home for about 5 seconds and noticed the wheel hop was stopping the tires from burning out. Ever since it seems to lack [:'(]power around 4700-5000 rpm and you can notice a small yellow light come on for a brief second in the RPM guage area when rolling up on the throddle while driving hard pn the pedal. but It doesn't stay on long enough to see what it is or means.. Any help is appreciated.

That sounds a whole lot like the Traction Control system. Try pushing the TCS button on your dash then try again.

Thanks guys. traction control was off<<<
When getting hard on the pedal and shifting about 5000 or there slightly after a small yellow light flashes in the RPM guage area. Not a traction problem but a small losss of power at that point.
