Same thing happened to me, and i cleaned my sensor that is on the intake(little wire), and it is 100% better, only mine was AEM CAI.

It is your MAF sensor. All you have to do is get some rubbing alcohol and a q-tip, and clean it off. It is very common because the cotton on the filter will sometimes get caught onto that sensor. I have only had to clean mine once, and it is good as new.

There is a "dead" spot right before lift in all gears if you have an Injen CAI. That's what monkey wrench racing was working on with tuning.
