Question Car sputters at around 5500 before shift

Hey fellas i did not know were to post this, but recently when im at WOT and the car gets around 5500 RPMs it starts to sputter right before the shift....ive mostly noticed on the 2-3 WOT shift I searched the forums and found a guy who had the same EXACT problem but had only one response so i figured i would give it another shot

PS....no codes are showing up either

Are you using the stock tach? If so it can be a little behind and you might be bouncing off the limiter.

I actually thought about that......but why all of a sudden unless i just overlooked it, would it start now.....and if this is the case wouldnt the computer shift the car before i hit the limiter? And if im hitting the limiter now....what happens when i put on the nitrous and my 3600 stall in

check you spark plugs, fuel filter, and fuel pump. I was having similar problems and put new plugs and fuel filter in and it went away.
