1G possible timing issue?

[hardcorandy]

I am having this problem that started 2 weeks ago. Just kinda showed up and has not gotten worse. Feels like the car is pulling timing through a single gear. Im running a whopping 9psi through my 14b. ALL maintenance was done 3k ago. Ill try to give examples of what she's doing.

If i launch i have 9psi on the gauge but no power through 1st gear. Shift into 2nd it pulls hard so on and so on. If im cruising and then go WOT in lets say 3rd, Its 9psi on the gauge and no power. The motor doesnt sound very alive at this point. If i let off mid rpm in gear and get back on it, The motor sounds alive and pulls much harder. So something on the initial WOT is being a pain. Its gotta be pulling timing if the motor is changing tone right?

I would wanna guess knock sensor right off the bat. I have a spare knock sensor from a motor i bought for a build. It looks good from the outside but who knows if it works. Any ideas would be great. Or if someone has been in this little pickle before. Thanks everyone.

MMM do you have a tuning device, do a boost leak.

No tuning device yet. Im good on the boost leaks. Ive have the exhaust manifold off last weekend to try and make room to get my power steering mount off. That was a fail. Had broken bolts i wanted to fix. Anyway, I looked into the exhaust ports and pulled the plugs. The plugs couldnt look any better and im getting a nice even burn through all 4.
