Teddy,

Normal operation for the AAN boost control is for the boost to max 
out at an upper limit (which is determined by software and the state 
of tune - bone stock, upgraded some, or RS2).  Once this maximum 
level is reached the boost then falls back to a lower "steady 
state".  Is this the loss of power you are experiencing?

There can also be a miss caused by a coil failing or a POS 
failing.  These can be reasonably well distinguished by the nature of 
the miss.  If the miss happens only after significant boost has 
developed then it is probably caused by a flailing coil.  If the miss 
is full-time then look at the POS.
