First off I would stop trying to go rev thru it. Your going to mess something up. Do you have a tune on the car or what vortech gave you? What is your fuel pressure? Do you have a wideband on the car? Have you checked the plugs? What kind of plug are you running? Need to post a little more bro for any of us to help you out
