Go for a drive with the gauge taped to your windshield. That will tell you if you're running out of fuel.

Shitty valvesprings? Other valvetrain issues? (wrong size pushrods, needs valve adjustment ect?)

If not, get a racetronix hotwire kit

well my fuel gauge doesnt work anyway so i need to cut a hole a check stuff out... as for the valve springs they were bought for a cc306 and are a dual spring so they should be just fine for this cam pushrods are stock size hardened chromoly units from comp cams engine itself has roughly 2500 miles on it and seems very happy i have lashed the valves ever 500 miles so far

Wonder if your running outta injector. Have you data logged your car? What's the injector duty cycle at?

I have some 30# SVO red tops I'm looking to sell... 140 shipped obo..
