Default Power loss

I got a little issue here, I have the 6 spd in my truck and the only power mod is that dang Adrenaline box with the pulse meter. When I am crusing down the street, with the box set all the way up, if I stomp it, it goes until about 2200 rpm than it seem it loses power, the engine still it reving, but it dont seem to have power. So I parked it and tried reving it up, it will free rev too about 3000 than boucne around. I assume this is the rev limiter here.

What would cause the sudden power loss?

you could be starving the Injection pump... are you running an aftermarket lift pump?

That sounds pretty typical of a clutch problem. Mine did that with 75 nozzles and Juice W Att. all the way up.
