Default Traction Problems - ESP Issue?

When stock, my car would hook up and was really easy to drive.

After all the basics(Pulleys/Tune/IC/Pump/Intakes), I am having driveability issues. I always turn the Traction Control off. When I lay on the gas in second, expecting a little spin, the traction control light flashes(although already illuminated/ESP Off), and it seriously bogs down. From other cars, I'm used to lifting a bit and remashing a little smoother to control the spin but this results in some serious jerking like the brakes are being applied. A few times I thought this was tranny issues, but it shifts solid. Is ESP somehow engaging even though it is off? WTF.

I like the added power, but this happens at the worst times, I like to break it loose around corners, the harder I'm driving the worse it is. Any ideas/suggestions? I also have yet to experience one wheel spin... It does not have a LSD, but both tires hook solid, odd.
