possible problems with max

I have noticed that my cars hesitates when it is humid out really badly. When I floor it it hesitates up to about 3500 rpms and then the power comes on like normal. Also I have noticed that my car kinda seems slow for the mods that I have. It doesnt seem like it pulls like it should. I was gonna have the fuel cut tsb done...does it do anything to increase performance at WOT. It seems that my shifts take forever. The clutch isnt slipping and it isnt that i cant shift. My car can barely chirp into second gear. I drove my friends 97 5 speed and was able to chirp into 2 and 3. My nissan dealer put a new transmission in about 4000 miles ago and my car hasnt been the same since. I am gonna take my car in to my dealer soon...What should i tell them??? Anyone have any suggestions on what could be possibly wrong with my car??? I think i might have to dyno my car and see what kind of numbers it is putting down to the front wheels.

Well give me your y-pipe b4 you take your slow car to the dealer. Also I was telling you that my car has that same problem, when we were at the Acura meet on the 8th.

Well...it happened to me too...but it wasn't as dramatic...and it was because of an extreamly dirty air filter. But since you got a pop charger, don't know if that would be your problem...

For me, it tends to open up at above 3K rpm. But now it's all better with a K&N drop in.
