Question Intermittent lack of power

Can only feel on accel and it is very minimal.
It feels like being in too high of a gear. Give it throttle and you will accel but not as fast... Then all of a sudden I get normal power.
Again tho, it is very minimal, nearly to the point where I question myself if it is really happening, very seldom, and only for a couple of seconds.

Happened before and after engine swap.
Hot or cold.
Plugs are new, alt new, all fluids new, etc
