Couple of Issues

Ok, I have a couple of questions/issues. First is the traction control. When ever I turn left in a corner, and not even that fast, the breaking control starts to break. It doesn't do it when turning right. I find myself turning the system off all the time because of it...
Secondly, it has an issue when I give it full throttle when in the upper rpms... sounds great, then hits about 6000 rpm, and it sounds like it's flooding, and looses some power.. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

scotty: only on left turns? how's the tire wear looking?
do you have a CEL on? does anything blink when you're upwards of 6k?

I would say uneven tire wear for the DSC light coming on.
And the loss of power,, Do you have a stock cat? When was the last time you changed your sparkplugs, plug wires, air filter, ignition coils?

Just changed the plugs a couple of months ago, when my girlfriend flooded it... It is only on left hand turns, and the tire wear is very even on all the tires. As far as I know the only thing changed is the intake. There is a k&n intake and filter. I haven't replaced anything else yet...
