Default Hesitation in 1st gear while taking off

Little background on the car, it's 2003 and has done 29k miles. When I'm taking off in 1st gear the car seems to hesitate a little, kind of like what happens on an older car if there's moisture in the dizzy cap. Basically I'm giving it gas to take off (~1200-1500RPMs) and it feels like the car falls on its face for a few seconds, them boom accelerates. It doesn't do it all the time so it's not a consistant thing, nor does any hesitation/bogging happen while accelerating to 9k. Thanks in advance!

Heat soak..

It's hot outside these days (depending on where you are it's too damn hot!! I'm in NOLA so it's rough)

Just blip the throttle a bit right before you take off and it should help, had to do that a lot with my FiPK..
