Ahh the Texas heat and delay of power.

I live in Vegas and have been suffering with this issue every summer. I get a massive delay in throttle response at low RPMs when in hot conditions. First gear, foot to the ground and no power until 3k rpm and then it bursts into life - feels like really bad turbo lag. I have the Stillen Gen3 intakes and have wrapped them with gold tape heat insulation to try and keep the IAF sensor temps down. It seems to have helped, but has not cured the problem.

I get the same thing, but its only when I don't give the car a little gas/revs before I start releasing the clutch. If I give it a little gas it will not have that issue even if the intake temp and oil temps are high. If I remember right it is the result of lowering emissions by nissan for daily drivers, maybe someone remembers the post/thread, this issue isn't the first time it's been discussed.

There's the post.
