Yes, nothing should happen at 7k. Do you have any mods? Also, at the rev limiter, the car does not hesitate. It cuts fuel, pops really fast (aka bouncing off the rev limiter) and doesn't let you continue accelerating even if you keep it floored.
Fuel cut is not a hesitation either. It's when you flow too much air and pass the MAFs threshhold for safety, which causes the ECU to cut all fuel, which is not a hesitation, but rather a complete cutoff of power. It feels like hitting a brick wall and is quite startling.

No, fuel cut from the ECU due to overboost or too much airflow is different from fuel cut when hitting the rev limiter. When you hit the rev limiter, it just stops accelerating and pops really fast while bouncing off the rev limiter, but when you hit overboost fuel cut, it's like hitting a brick wall as I said before. It's a near-violent jerk like hitting the brakes. This should not happen at 7k.
You're saying it doesn't happen in 1st gear, right? What about 3rd gear?

Just to update I tryed to spin it past 7k in first but it felt like I was hitting fuel cut at 7200 rpm so I just gave up in first gear. I waited 5 min and tryed again but this time from a roll in 2nd gear, I was able to go through 2nd-4th gears while shifting @ 7400 rpm's without a problem.

This may be a stupid question but are you doing this on a completely warm engine or just getting it out of the neighborhood and flooring it? I am thinking that you do this on a completely warm motor but just had to ask.
