Now if Im driving normal and the rpms are low and I stomp on it it does take a second to kick in but most cars are like that. If I know I might need to jump on it I put the car into manual mode and ensure the rpms are around 3k already then jump on it.

I have stock intakes and have the same unpredictable hesitation issue. However, I've noticed it less and less. I wonder if it's the quality of fuel. For a while, I was always using WAWA or HESS. But about 1.5 months ago, I switched over the SUNOCO (only). It might be just a coincidence.

1. I notice almost everybody is using red line oil (including me) - could be an issue?? 2. Not sure about oil filters, but I also use K&N filter, and OP here said he was. 3. It's not intakes that are the issue, it's a mix of both. Could be air filters? 4. Only effects manual transmissions (from what I've gathered on the two threads) 5. Gas? I'm going to try an ECU reset today and see what happens / how long it lasts. Then switch back to factory air filters if the problem doesn't go away or comes back.

I'm going to try Sunoco Gas. There is only one station in town, but I'll go there for the next few fill-ups. |

I took out my air filters today and they were a little dirty, but not extremely. Anyhow, after cleaning them, I noticed a difference in responsiveness. I was noticeably better.
Oh.....there was also a leaf stuck in the left intake duct.

As stated in the other thread, it's not a lack of response. This car needs RPM's; that's understood. It's a weird jerk of power at ~3k RPM. There is almost zero response at the start, then at about 3k RPM, you get pinned back in your seat. It's not smooth at all. This doesn't happen to me until I've driven for about 20 mins. At first it's fine, it's a lot smoother. But it seems after I reach normal operating temp, it gets lagged.

I think my next mod will be CAI......probably STILLEN's because of their filter placement. I don't want to risk sucking up water on rainy days, as it would be more prone with the Injens or AEMs.
