Never had this issue before, when in first gear in my 2G or launching hard midway thru first at full boost when the torque is greatest its like I hit fuel cut and it shoots a flame and kills the power like putting the brakes on, car drives normal and pulls fine in every gear with great af ratios, link shows it going crazy lean when it does it, is fuel sloshing to the back of my tank causing this?
 
is fuel sloshing to the back of my tank causing this?

It's possible, I've had similar issues myself. Have you tried launching with a completely full tank?
 
I'll give that a try, but theres probably a good half a tank of gas and it does it, been doing it for a few weeks at different fuel levels, debating pulling my pump and checking the hanger assembly and or fuel pump.[DOUBLEPOST=1414442590][/DOUBLEPOST]OK the car does it only when two step is used, and it's always at 4500 rpm, large poof of black smoke and backfire, the rich smoke is weird because link shws it going lean.

Plugs and wires and maybe check your fuel pressure if your car is overloading fuel at the rpm cause the bog down. what management system are u using and check if u can lean out a little at those rpms
 
2 step[DOUBLEPOST=1414678281][/DOUBLEPOST]I've always had an issue with this cars two step its like it anti lags on two step for some reason and runs rich, if I stay on the two step too long 3-4 seconds it loads up... But now when you launch it its like it shuts off mid way thru the launch like I said and shoots a flame and brown smoke out and runs super rich for a few seconds afterwards.

Sounds like it could be losing a CAS signal or a ground somewhere.
 
Will post a log here soon.[DOUBLEPOST=1414970624][/DOUBLEPOST]Heres an older log of it doing it this is a 5200RPM Launch you can see it launches then literally shuts the power off and goes lean in 1st gear, strange cause it only does it in 1st.

Look @ 5 Sec into log.
