ETS starts by cutting fuel to the engine. So, that would explain a large HP loss.

Actually, it cuts timing, but does loose HP.

That's probably what we refer to as "Abuse Mode". If the PCM thinks it could cause damage to the trans, it will pull timing. Just like Torque management makes it pull timing before shifts. Probably just the PCM trying to prevent you from tearing the car up, that's all.
