Anyone knows hows it called or whats causes the car to spit or stutter when flooring it? I have a gs and when i floor it it accelerates normally and few times when it itimbs rpm's for a milisecond or two it feels like it stop accelerating or accelerates less.
 
Basic stuff first.

Spark plugs,
Spark plug gaps
Spark plug wires
Fuel quality
Base timing.
Air filter.

Ngk bpr6es-11 (new)
Believe original wires
95 octane fuel (not shady gas station or anything)
Timing belt was just recently changed (continental) actually when i think about it it started happening around tye time timing belt was changed.

Given that statement check the mechanical timing.
 
Timing between crank and cams? And also did you see the video? Do it look like timing issue? I also noticed my intake hose has a small cut in it. I will try pathcing it up first
