Default Have a stumper of a question.

I got my 6.0 fired up (carbed with msd 6010) and got everything set. I let the motor warm up to operating temp and was giving it the look over and decided to see how it revved. Well it doesn't? It starts to rev then it acts like it is on a rev limiter. The motor sounds great idles great but won't accelerate. Has anyone run into this? Where would you start diagnosing? This is my first ls series motor so I am kinda new.

Well I got my problem fixed! I had a voltage drop on the 12v wire going to the MSD box. As soon as you throttle into it would go from the 12v to about 7volt. Boy let me tell you MSD does not like low voltage. I love the throtte response it has now!
