Has decent pull but still struggles getting up to 7K even more going from 2nd to 3rd.


That is straight thinking to K.I.S.S. & go thru the basics & I am guessing here but with that symptom I would want to check my fuel psi as I go thru the traps & see if I have at least several lbs of pressure. It could be valve float & ign issues which would show up at a certain high rpm(in any gear) as the load would pretty much be the same in 1st as in 2nd but for it to act differently in 2nd is making me think fuel starvation but I am out on a limb here. Stay in touch




Actually I just realized I forgot to respond to this point about fuel starvation. I thought that initially was part of the problem and went out and held the car at 5K rpm in first gear no real load for about 10 seconds then hammered down and it still struggled to hit 7k. Eventually I'll figure it out but man all this sure has me stumped for the time being.
