Power Loss

I recently got my chip and intake done, got tha diablo chip, and the MAC Cold Air kit. Tha truck seems really strong through first gear but at WOT when it shifts to second the power just falls. It feels like it gets stuck and doesnt want to go any faster. Anyone else experience the same thing? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If your boost is dumping you would no it. The truck would just fall on its face, it sounds like your haveing another problem. Does it feel like something is holding it back? If this is the problem you are haveing be careful, it may be leaning out and actually starving for fuel. Roll up your windows and turn the radio off and listen real good for a fant ticking from the engine when it does this. If you hear any ticking its detonation from being to lean. You need another program. I hope it was just the boost dump for your sake. If its detonating be sure your running good gas and 93 octane.
