More performance issues

So, I almost had a heart attack when my L99 decided to have power, but then almost immediately lose it again.
As some of you remember, I have bogging issues.
Well, it just rained out, the ground was still wet. I was taking a right turn, and the engine didn't want to move, so I floored it, and next thing i knew, i was hydroplaning and i could hear the tires skidding like hell, and the engine revving VERY high.
Well, that was about the best power I felt out of that thing, but at the WRONG time! I coulda went into oncoming traffic, if I didn't get ahold of the vehicle again.
So, performance: Come and go, and FAR worse when the AC is turned on. Literally, I can be driving at a steady 45 with the AC off, turn the AC on, and I will drop down to 37Mph.
New opti wires and plugs. Nothing is helping, what else is there?
