I figured out the problem!!!! Turns out that the answer was right in front of my eyes, if I had taken the time to read all the specs of the internals of this motor. It seems as though the lag I was getting was exactly at the same rpm range that the cam, and heads are profiled for. The motor was originally tuned, and set up to run it's best with nitrous. So it was doing exactly what it was supposed to do without using the juice. I now have 4 full bottles, and as long as I don't empty them tomorrow during the license runs, I'll get back on the dyno next weekend.
