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?

Tyler

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