Default Hesitation on take off

When driving today I punched my car off the line and it fell flat on it's face and then picked up and took off. I have also noticed it doesn't seem to have the snap off of the line that it had just a couple of weeks ago. I didn't drive it for two weeks but other then that nothing else has changed. I have the breenspeed 93 octane tune installed as well as a c&l CAI. I tried the 87 octane tune but it still feels doggy off the line as well. It used to spin the tires a little and then take off. nothing like that happening now.
I'm not so worride about the one time hesitation so much as I am the lack of get up and go it's been showing me off the line.
TIA

I'm hoping Ford fixed the fuel pump problems on the '08's and that that's not your problem...

Try turning your TCS off.

It does sound like a slow reponse from the fuel pump. If it does it again you can try datalogging it.
