Default Bogging down at highway speeds..

I have noticed after I did my LT's and true dual setup, that when I am on the highway going about 55-65 just cruising, when I hit the throttle to speed up and pass some one, It takes off good but then boggs down right away, like it is stuck in 4 gear. I have to press down quite abit further to get it to down shift in order to pic up the required speed,

Now what I am saying is I don't mash it to the floor in order for it to go, but it seems to take alot more throttle than what it use to...

Does anyone know what the problem might be? Clogged fuel filter? Falty spark plug wires, maybe bad gas?

Any info would help

Sounds like you are a good candidate for a street tune.

So what you mean is a hand held tuner? Do it yourself one? Or taking it to a shop to have them flash it?

Not flash. Tune. Take it to a shop and have them dyno tune it. Don't get a handheld. You can get a used cam and springs for the same price that you can get a Diablo/Predator/Hypertech tuner.

Invest your money into a full tuning suite like EFILive or HP Tuners.
