Sticking EGR?
Right when I punch the throttle, say around 2000-25000 the car begins to take off then lets off for a fraction of a second then continues putting the LO3's mighty torque to the ground ( 
I wish). Is my EGR valve sticking?

Shouldn't the EGR only be working when the engine is warm, crusing (not at WOT) and at a certain TPS reading?

Not sure. I would check fuel pressure and spark. For that, you would have to have a tech to check the fuel pressure or buy a gage. To check spark, warm up the engine and keep it running. Take a fine mist sprayer and spray around the wires and see if you get an electrical storm. If so, change wires. Also, Take a new good spark plug and hook it to each wire, one at a time and ground the threads or get a spark plug tester. Rev the engine and see if you get a blue spark all the time.
BTW, when was the last time you did a tune up? Plugs cap, rotor, wires, etc?

I know shame on me but hopefully I'll just be swapping in an L98 this winter. I geuss I can live with the hesitation, I don't race the car and only a couple more months...-Rippin
