Acceleration to redline is not smooth

Well, this evening I pushed the PCar hard against another car .

But what I noticed was the power was not smooth thru the acceleration. The best way I can explain it was a surge or loss of power momentarily at several points during acceleration. This was in every gear. Kind of like little plateaus in the power band.

I have a B&M Air filter in the car. But that is all.

The car came from NY to Denver. Thus a 5280ft gain. I know is SHOULD adjust but I am not sure.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I fixed it.......More like I caused it and THEN fixed it.

When I modified my airbox to remove the resonator (you know, the closed box hooked to the tube just ABOVE the MAF) I did not block it off. Thus the engine was taking in air PAST the MAF causing issues.

I should have known better but missed it. OOPS! Live and learn.
