Default Supercharged LS3 A6

Drag racing, 2nd shifts to 3rd, power drops way down, sometimes kicks back up. Does this sound like torque management timing retard? I’ll have digidash in the mail tomorrow, I’ll be able to read some permitters. But damn, that power drop is killing me. It did it on a highway run a couple times too.
thanks for any info.

Quick follow up, I poured a can of royal purple octane boost into a full tank of Texaco 92 octane gas. Made 3 pulls, 55 to 150mph, ran like a beast, no power drops, dips... pure straight power. Not sure it was coincidence, or the octane boost. But yeah. That’s how it should pull.
