You'll see the Volt needle droping while the RPM increases........

Hmmm. I don't notice that though but I get hesitation on higher RPMs.

Sounds like closed 5&6 ports........ Was it like if you stoped pressing the gas all the way? Did you felt the car not amking power around and above 6k rpms? Or was it just hessitation, like if the car was flooded?

It's hesistation because my car's power goes up and down. If you were to put it on a graph, it will look like a wave.

Hmmm, that doesn't sound like a 5&6 ports problems. Have you messed with the SAFC lately?

Try to test the car without the ignition amplifier box...

Yup, just trying to lean it out a little. I thought it was my setting too but I set everything back to 0% and the hesitation is still there.

Here is my experience with my untune SAFC, when I did the installation I rook the car for a test drive, everything seemed to be fine TILL I hit 6K rpms in first gear. I encouter some MAJOR hessitation the first time I took first gear all the way to redline. Afterwards, the hessitation was gone on first gear; however same thing happened right after I wined upo 2nd gear.

I believe (and this might be the stupidest thing you have ever heard), that the SAFC takes some time to "Learn the car characteristic".

After I experienced hessitation on first gear (just for the first time I tried to red line it), it happened the same thing on second gear, and then on third gear; the hessitaion was noticeable on hig rpms +6k, but not on the same exact spot on each gear.

I might be way off though.......
