The valve springs didn't fix it? Damm! did you drive it on the street yet? How does it run on the street? does it fall on it's face at 4700 RPM or does it keep pulling? Can you post the dyno sheet? What did Geoff say? Call me tomorrow Dallas. Anyone else have any ideas? If it's a fuel issue the tuner should know. When i talked to him he said the A/F ratio was good through the pull.

Glad to hear it pulls good Dallas. Dyno # Are cool and all but we'll find out when we take it to the track. lol Did it pull good all the way to your shift point? I got the dyno sheet you sent it looked like valve float. When you get the cats off it will wake it up a lot too.

its not valve float and its not a fuel issue...it has to be the dyno. no matter what dyno you go to its gonna do the same and show the same peak at the same rpm...its the same as my car i have dual valvesprings and more than enough fuel but drops like a fly after 4700rpm but when i get out on the street it doesnt let up until i shift...

Please stop guessing! With all of the info the ECM has to offer it is unrealistic anyone should ever not know what the problem is.
