Acceleration problems

what is the reason most cars lose their "pickup?"when you step on the gas,you can here the engine revving higher,but doesn't grab until a second later?

the clutch could be slipping and takes a second to grab. or your engine could be bogging because of too much fuel in the low RPMS

Could be your throttle
Becuase you are pushing it to the limit and puttin it to the floor you could just be overloading the engine.
