i just finished my swap and have noticed once i hit about 4grand there is no power whatsoever... i have been shifting at 4 grand when im trying to make it go fast... i dotn know if its because of the stock IHI turbo or what!!!! i do have a 2.73 rear...that hurts alot. Why does it have no power gain after 4g?!?!? my cam is for 1800-5900rpm range power,, so it isnt doing much good right now.

Ps anybody have any 3.73 or higher 8.8 gears they wanna sell me?

-thanks ,

Mike

You installed an aftermarket cam?
Are you sure everything is timing right?

Mine would run super strong down low and fall flat real quick with the cam off one tooth.

Ya check the timing then recheck it. I just did a head swap on mine and got it off by a tooth and had the same problem didnt like to rev past 3.5 and didnt have as much power as it should have. If you hadnt already change the timing belt, better to be safe then sorry Good luck!
