check your fluid level again....sounds like your fluid may be a bit low still.

no pull after 70 or just feels less pull? If just less, it maybe that you're upshifting to 3rd to early and so the car is falling on its face.

i think it is in the tune, seems to come out of gear at 5500rpm jumps to about 6800 and then shifts to third. I am still scared to go wot in this thing, it is sideways at anything over 1/2 throttle.
