has this ever happened to you?

i was driving in 4th today at around like 45mph and i decide to drop it to 3rd and push the throttle all the way to what seemed to be around 5-6k but when i did this my car suddenly started hesitating...i wasnt watching the tach because of the traffic out in front but it felt as if the needle was fluctuating up and down..it felt like there was a loss in power and it seemed like i could HEAR the engine hesitating at WOT...the motion was really abrupt and noticeable and the car was shaking

all i have is a bc set @ 21

Turn your boost down. Get a fuel pump and get tuned if you want to turn the boost up.

You were probably bouncing off the rev limiter
