Question weird POP from my motor

i'm freaking out .... tonight was the 1st night for me to get below 60 temps soo i went out for a drive to enjoy the cool weather...

i was cursing in 5th/4th (happened in both)... and i hit WOT...it was moving and groving no issues then all of a sudden... i would hear this big POP! and my motor giving power... it's as if like a intake hose popped off or something.... but i know it's not ... bc as soon as i let off (which is right after the pop) .. the cars fine again... any idea what's up?
the only thing i can think of... is am i too rich?

my mods are:
Injen Intake
Invida N1 Catback
Invida Dp
De-catted
Hallman @ 20 psi
NGK Iridium BPR7EIX gapped @ 25

what do you think?!??

Then yes, with intake and turbo back exhaust you are probably running rich.

You need a tune... Not positive that the pop was from running rich though... but I have heard of that happening to people running rich.

Did it sound like a fuel cut and a backfire? The engine lose a little power for a sec?

it felt like fuel cut with a loud pop... didnt seem like a backfire... normally backfire only happenes near redline right?... or like when you let off the gas... this was like somewhere between 5grand-6.5grand RPM at WOT.. when the pop happeneed

No... Not only when you let off the gas... Mine was doing it anytime I went in to high rpm and high boost, after I installed my intake and turbo back... however I have since been dynoflashed and it runs great now no slams or fuel cuts anymore... full boost all the way to redline.
