what just happened? i took my car out for some shake down runs, and it pulled ok in 1st and second, but at the top of 3rd at about 4700 rpm it just stopped pulling! just like hitting a wall.
i did that a couple of times and sure enough it did it again. my boost was 11psi all the time so belt slippage was not an issue. could it be valve float?? clutch slippage ( no smell after the runs)???
has this happened to anyone? what should i check?

Re: what just happened? well i went out to check on the fule pressure.
as i started the car i noticed i had 1/8 of a tank. so i thought aha!! this could be a problem!
so i fill it up to 3/4 of the tank and go testing, and lo and behold ! i go through third and fourth! ( sound stupid , i know) i was so happy that i didn't have to disasemble the heads again!!!
so the moral of the story is , when you race have more than 1/3 tank of gas ( especialy when you have a walbro intank and an aeromotive in line!!)
