Default Hesitation from dead stop

I have a 99 A4 coupe (Z51 susp) with the following mods: Blackwing w/ice box, LS6 manifold, carbon airbridge, B&B Bullets, 3.42 gears and a street tune with no codes. Here is the issue – from a dead stop when go to WOT, there seems to be a lag in acceleration before I am pushed back in my seat and I can’t spin my tires (BFG Eagles F1). Also, when in idle and blip my throttle, I notice my RPMs don’t rise or fall immediately. My tuner has looked at everything and there are no problems with my MAF or any other readings. HELP!!!!

Did you disable the traction control - by putting the car in competition mode?

I know it seems simple, but check the spark plugs and plug wires.

I have tried with Comp mode and with traction off, no luck. I have not checked the plugs or wires, I'll try that next. Thanks for the feedback!

Replaced plugs with NGK TR55 and MSD wires. Seems to idle just a bit better, but no chirp Cleaned the MAF and TB too Throttle body was gunked up. My car has 44k miles and I don't know if it was every done. If you haven't done yours, I would recommend it.
