Ok for starters this is an automatic 1g. The other night went out beat on the car a bit then i noticed i had no power in first. Its really slow to get going. If i nudge the car forward at a stop it feels notchy. The transmission is not slipping it simply takes forever to get up to speed, once into boost she still pulls like a raped banshee in all gears even 1st. I did a boost leak, compression test, checked plugs, transmission level, checked for shaft play, and they all are fine so im stumped why i have no power in 1st. Any help would be awesome.

its not in limp mode
 
can you feel the transmission shifting. it could be in limp mode aka 3rd gear at a stop. which will make it really slow getting up to speed.
 
Its not in limp mode and it shifts through all gears, I have a shift box so i can hold it in certain gears and this is still how it acts
