Default Help Something wrong w/ car not sure what??

I was driving my car on the highway A4 and punched it took it to about 130mph. Everything was fine. Slowed down to 60mph and noticed that the car was like bogging. So I put the car in nuetral and revved it and it was fine so then i put back in drive and when i would push the gas pedal any more than a tap it would like struggle to move. the car still drives just not that good. I dont think it has to do with the motor bc engine idles perfect, not running hot, no noise from motor, revs in nuetral perfect, no check engine codes. also when i got off the highway and was driving on the streets to go home i noticed that i kinda hear a whine from the tranny as i accelerate and i never heard it before. before the pull on the highway my car was running in tip top shape. Any input will be greatly appreciated. Oh also its a 96 LT1 transam ws6. Thanks
** I am starting to think that it might be my fuel pump bc it was starting to go bad(wouldnt hold pressure when you start the car). I just ordered a racetronix fuel pump kit w/ wiring harness so hopefully that will solve the problem.

Hard to diagnose. I would start with a full tuneup, test the fuel pressure then go from there. Might be easier to data log it and let someone diagnose them. I would be intrested in seeing what your o2 sensors are reading.

damn u had a dynaspark go bad?

Ive had my Dynspark for almost 3 years and used it on my old 95 camaro and on my new 95 camaro. No problems.

And back on topic. I bet it is your fuel pump. Cause your tranny wouldnt bog ur car down,
