Do you mean that when you step on the gas it feels like it is hesitatingon going faster????
Cause that is the problem I am having. But if I am driving like a normal civilian (obeying the law) there are no problems. It drives fine.

sounds like a tune prob. change the plugs, wires, cap and rotor and check your maf to make sure its clean. you could also run codes to see if it has any.
