Default Hesitation under full throttle?

Hey Guys,

I may just be imaging things but I think I might have felt some hesitation under load, going from about 60-100.

I just installed a vararam a few weeks ago but I never got any CELs and it's always run fine. Outside of that the only mod is a catback.

Car has 48k miles and has been running fine.

Am I just imagining things?? I've only noticed once or twice when under full throttle above 60MPH which I really don't do much. I *think* I might have felt a some hesitation and like it's missing a little power.

Default Hesitation

Check the easy items first, plugs and wires, make sure they are all seated and the plugs are in good condition. Then go after fuel filter and ground connections. Check any codes being thrown. Good luck!

I bet the fuel filter has never been changed.
