The feeling in the car feels almost the same as spark being blown out. Most fuel maps are designed on base correction to add additional fuel for additonal levels of heat. Could be just big rich
Steve, I think this is a contributing factor, definitely....

From 5000 RPM--->redline and probably 16 psi and up, that whole section of the map is retardedly rich....I am talking like mid 9's probably.

It's like that bc when my car was tuned, boost started falling off after 5K dramatically (turns out there was a slice in an IC coupler) so he added tons of fuel there in case I overboosted someday in the future.

I am gonna play with my fuel map and pull some fuel in that region to make it more reasonable.

That being said, something is totally fubarred with my ignition, and I haven't done a thing to touch it or mess it up.

I even put the car on WG boost (like 10 psi) and tried to pull to redline in 3rd gear, and it just stops pulling around 5500 RPM or so.

This is nowhere near enough power to be blowing out spark....I may trying moving my head--->chassis ground to a better location than where it currently is.


This just sucks, bc I have been running the car on 19 psi, tapering down starting at 6000 RPM down to about 16 psi at redline (boost leak, as mentioned), and for 9 months, the car was pulling fine, no hesitation, no problems.

Now, even on 10 psi, it stops pulling at like 5500 RPM.

Gonna do a compression test, even though I am sure it is fine. No coolant missing, no smoke of any kind, oil and coolant were fine last time I checked....haven't touched timing, CAS, or ANYTHING.
