Throttle Response / Acceleration Hesitation Delay = 2006 F-150 Lariat 5.4L 4x4

Could someone please let me know why I’m having an Acceleration Hesitation at 30 – 40 mph? It feels like the onboard computer has a built in 2-second delay in between the gears. I have 7K miles on my 06 F-150.

Last week I had Ford re-program my trucks computer to the most current revision (also called Flash update). They found 06-Sept Rev that they thought would fix my problem. Well, 200 miles later, no change and I still have this Acceleration Hesitation Delay.

Does anyone have a fix or solution to this problem?

I was thinking about installing these two items:
A.> JET Performance Chip Power Control Module http://www.autoanything.com/performa...0A2067797.aspx
B.> Airaid Cold Air Intake System

Does anyone have these installed?
Is JET Performance a good product?

Thanks for any help/Info!

No had a similiar problem with a hesitation especially when merging onto the highway. My edge fixed that problem right up.

Either an Edge or a Troyer tuned Xcal2. I had a bad hesitation that was dangerous, the dealer reflashed and it solved that problem, but I had a real dead spot as it accelerated through 2nd. The Edge solved all my problems!
