My friends stang that is fully loaded with things like R block AFR 205 Heads mondo vortec is falling on its face at 4800 rpm. 467 hp.
We have taken off blower belt to see if it was blowing out spark, we have tried lots of timing and fuel curves we have even replaced coil.

Any Ideas????

pegged MAF, blown headgasket (actually had this happen to us once on the dyno, cylinders were half full of coolant)...

What chip is in the limiter haha. Dumber things have happened. When you say "falling on its face", is it breaking up? just not climbing any more? quitting all together?

yes, we did. we deleted the aftermarket box completely, we also used another coil, different computer, cannot be pegging MAF because without vortec we only made 250 hp. we are not running out of fuel cause on our dyno the A/R stayed 12:1 till 6500. we have changed timing all over the place.

We are stuck

Good call s&b. Happened to me as well at 5100 until I tightened.
